The eight men forming the sides of the triangle hold axes, while the man at the point holds up a swagger stick by his face. This man also has an additional braid across his hat the other men do not have, suggesting he is the leader of the group. As part of the uniform, each man has six pins on his collar, three on each side. These pins spell out "M", "W", and "A". The pins, along with the presence of the axes, suggest these men form a chapter in the fraternity Modern Woodmen of America. The Modern Woodmen of America was founded by Joseph Cullen Root in Lyons, Iowa on January 5, 1883. The society was chartered in Illinois the following year; the headquarters moved to Rock Island, Illinois in 1897. Chapters of the Modern Woodmen of America were founded in several states, including Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska. While Coralville specifically may not have had a chapter, it is possible area residents joined other local chapters. This photograph was likely taken in the late 1800s to early 1900s. The archivist mainly relied on the newspaper articles listed below as sources for this description. These articles and more can be found through the Chronicling America database through the Library of Congress and the Iowa Digital Newspaper Project through the State Historical Society of Iowa.

Elections were held annually in March from 1874-1953; in 1954, elections were moved to November. (Lovetinsky et al., p. 86). This ticket states the following: "Coralville Bull-Dozer's Ticket. For Mayor, A.W. Davis. For Recorder, J.M Curry. For Trustees, John H. Clark, John Williams, J.C. Wilson, Patrick McGahn, Chas. E. Robinson. For Treasurer, Thomas R. Hackett For Assessor, McDonald Stewart For Street Commissioner, Thomas Curry." It is unknown when this ticket was printed, but based on the names that appear, it can most likely be dated back to the 1870s-1890s. A.W. Davis is never listed in historical records as being the mayor of Coralville, so presumably this Bull-Dozer's ticket lost the election (Lovetinsky et al., p. 82-83).

The store was owned and run by *Thomas Ross Hackett and John Williams; they ran the general store and distributed mail to the citizens of Coralville (Lovetinsky et al., p. 66; Walch, p. 40). The first Coralville Post Office was established in June 18, 1869. Lemuel G. Wilson was the first postmaster. In 1870, Alice Ott became the first postmistress. According to Lovetinsky et al., "The post office was discontinued on June 3, 1895, was re-established March 26, 1896 with John Davis as postmaster, and then was discontinued again on July 31, 1902" (p. 66). *The following note is included in this image's caption in Lest We Forget: "...The wooden double store and warehouse faced west on the bank of the Iowa River. Thomas Ross Hackett was proprietor and postmaster. Later the store half of the building was moved across the street and turned to face south. The move was made when the Interurban was built across the site of the store. It was used as a store until 1970" (p. 66). Given this information, it is possible that half of this double front store later became Wilson's Store, and then Koser's Store, which was in operation until 1970.

As written on page 14 of Lest We Forget: 'Left to right: The woolen mill erected in 1866 was later converted to an oatmeal factory called Pearl Mill, wall of the old paper mill in center with light plant (smoke stack is on the light plant), and Valentine Miller's flour mill.' The Woolen Mill was constructed by the Home Manufacturing Company in 1866 to manufacture 10,000 yards of materials per month. Materials included cassimeres, flannels, blankets, jeans, and yarn. The superintendent of the mill was Humphrey Taylor. Though extensive, the mill ultimately proved unprofitable and was adapted into the oatmeal factory Pearl Oat Mill. (Lovetinsky et al., p. 14). Coral Mills, the brick flour mill, was built in the mid to late 1870s after the Clarksville Mill burned in 1873. The cost was $19,000, and paid for by Valentine Miller and William W. Kirkwood. Miller owned three fourths interest, and Kirkwood one fourth. The mill ran generally both day and night with five employees, with the capacity of one hundred barrels a day (Lovetinsky et al., p. 12). In his book, Walch notes the smaller buildings in the background, which served as homes for the mill workers (Walch, p. 31).

Most of the men wear hats and overalls or suspenders. They stand or kneel in a grassy area off the side of the building. The mill itself looks to be four stories total; the glass windows are almost all open, as well as the three doors lined in front. Metal stars decorate the front and sides of the building. At the bottom of the photograph is white, it is written: "1892 Pearl Mills, Coralville, Ioa." The building was originally a woolen mill, but once the operations became unprofitable, it was converted into Pearl Oat Mill. The mill employed twelve men and operated for many years processing oats, but ultimately proved unprofitable before the turn of the century. The unused building was destroyed in a fire in 1912 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 14-15; Walch, p. 33). Front row, left to right: Albert Carlton, Jim Fairchild, Ronie Davis. Back row, left to right: George Fox, Jack Anspoker, Ed Koser, William Wylant, Charlie Koser, Fred Robinson, John Hart, John McGinnis, Vance Anspoker, Louie Robinson, Charles Robinson, Sam Marifield, and B. W. Bowers, at the end of the row, sits on the fence. Charlie Francis sits in the wagon behind the rest of men; horses Jim and Nig are harnessed to the wagon (Lovestinsky et al., p. 14).

The six young women sit in a triangle formation, arms and hands resting on each other. All are dressed in dark, long sleeved, full length dresses with their hair done up. A painted backdrop of a living room scene sits behind them, and a carpet is laid out beneath them. Alexander and Frances (Henry) Wilson lived north of Coralville and had eleven children, six of which were daughters: Lydia (1860-1948), Emma, Mary Ellen (1865-1945), Sarah Margaret (1868-1942), Elizabeth (1870-1959), and Jennie (1877-1892). Of the six daughters, only Lydia remained in the area long term, working as a seamstress for the University of Iowa's Children Hospital. She never married. Emma moved to Montana with her husband, Jay Pinney. Both Mary Ellen's husband, Thomas Justice, and Elizabeth's husband, Michael T. Coleman, worked at the Iowa State Teacher's College in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Sarah Margaret (known as "Doll") married Tudor Reese, but after being widowed in 1903 and working for many years in Iowa City business firms and the University of Iowa's Women Gymnasium, also moved to Cedar Falls (Lovetinsky et al., p. 129).

Both wear a brooch on the collar of their high necked dresses. Caroline "Carrie" Mary was born on December 14, 1879* to Charles and Mary (Anciaux) Koser in Penn Township. She married Stephen Francis Fairchild in 1900, and the couple lived at the Fairchild family homestead. In 1911, they had a son: Edward Francis. Stephen Francis died on March 1, 1919, during the influenza epidemic of World War I. Carrie died 28 years later in 1941 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 102, 112). Lena Mae was born on March 17, 1880* to Charles and Mary (Anciaux) Koser in Coralville, Iowa. She married Timothy Marsh Fairchild on December 13, 1899. Timothy Marsh practiced law in Iowa City, and was elected County Attorney. The couple had seven children: Leona Joanna (b. 1901), Lucy Loretta (b. 1903), Nellie Irene (b. 1905), Timothy Marsh, Jr., (b. 1908), Charles Alexander (b. 1910), Sarah Ellen (b. 1911), and Mildred Ellsworth (b. 1915). Lena Mae died on November 17, 1956. Her husband Timothy died 11 years earlier on July 21, 1945 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 101, 112). *Because of the close proximity of these two birth dates, the Ancestry Library website was searched to verify validity; according to the database, Lena Mae was born in either 1879 or 1880, while Carrie's birth year varied from 1879 to 1882. As no evidence was found to determine a specific date of birth for either person, it was decided to go with the information listed in Lest We Forget: Coralville, 1873-1973.
