Description
An account of the resource
A formal portrait of Russell D. Slade, a prominent city resident from the 1950s to the early 1980s.
Russell D. Slade was born December 26, 1934 in Iowa City. He graduated from University High School in 1952. Two years later, on June 28, 1954, he married Dolores May Kofron. They had three children: Cynthia Lynn, Thomas Russell, and Timothy Dean.
Slade was very involved within the Coralville community. He began volunteering as a fire fighter in 1952, even acting as the fire chief from 1969-1972. He was involved with multiple city committees in both Coralville and Iowa City, the Coralville Softball Association, the Boy Scouts, and various community service groups. He also owned his own business, the Slade Brothers Roofing Company, located in Coralville, Iowa.
Slade died suddenly on February 6, 1984 during a trip to Hawaii. Afterward, the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce created a community service award known as the Russell D. Slade Award, given to recognize citizens who give non-partisan leadership in order to continue the success of their local community.

An account of the resource
Ezekiel Clark, Jr. sits for a portrait with his young daughter, Lillian.
Ezekiel Clark, Jr. was born on August 20, 1869* to John Henry and Mary (McCullough) Clark in Clarksville, Iowa. He married Emma Borts on September 12, 1888. Ezekiel served Coralville as Mayor and Councilman before marrying Maud Bane and moving to Sioux City, Iowa. Together, they had two sons: Clifford and Marion. Ezekiel died on August 31, 1937 and was returned to Coralville for burial.
Lillian Clark was born on December 8, 1890 to Ezekiel Clark, Jr. and Emma (Borts) Clark. As her mother died during birth, Lillian was raised by her maternal grandparents. She married Fred Jones, and they lived together in Iowa City with their two children, Gladys and James. Lillian died on September 8, 1968, four years after the death of her husband (Lovetinsky et al., p. 94-95).
*While Lest We Forget lists Ezekiel's birth year as 1869, a 1957 edition of the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported he was born 1866.
