Description
An account of the resource
A formal portrait of Koser sisters Lena Mae and Caroline "Carrie" Mary, circa 1890s. 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.

Description
An account of the resource
The family home of Alexander and Caroline (Gould) Hart Koser. Located at the corner of Sixth Street and First Avenue, this house was built after 1872, when Alexander purchased 470 acres of land from John. H. Clark.
In this photograph, three carriages can be seen on the front lawn, all harnessed to horses. About four people can be seen sitting in the various carriages. A pony or colt stands with them, the reins of which are in a young boy's hands. Behind the carriages, two people can be seen on the porch of the house. A fourth horse with a ride stands near the steps of the porch. While these people are unidentifiable, it is likely they are part of the Koser family.
Alexander and Caroline raised their nine children in this home: Edward, Alexander, Jr., Caroline, Jr. (Carrie), Iowa, Minnie, Hayden, Feley, Manley, and Preston. Alexander also had seven children from a previous marriage with Hattie A. Atchley: John, Charles, Mary, Elizabeth, Susan, Agnes, and Marion (Dolly). Hattie died April 24, 1865.
Alexander and Caroline's daughter Iowa married Arthur P. Jones in 1890; they lived in this home and farmed the land until 1908. They built another house alongside Biscuit Creek on Fifth Street (Lovetinsky et al., p. 107, 110).

An account of the resource
Married couple Maude (Allmand) and John H. Halvorsen, surrounded by their three grown children: William "Bill", Robert "Bud", and Alta. The men wear suits and boutonnieres, while the women wear dresses and corsages. They stand behind a decorated table that holds displayed forks, plates, two candles, food, and a three tiered cake. A cake decoration balances on the top of the cake: a circle with the number 50 inside. This image is likely of Maude's and John's fiftieth wedding anniversary.

An account of the resource
The Fairchild family pose for a picture outside. The front row sits in wooden chairs from the house, while the back row stands. A blanket stretches on the grass in front of them, suggesting an outdoor family gathering.
Front row, left to right: Timothy Fairchild, Laura Kessler, Grace Fairchild, Lena Mae (Koser) Fairchild, Luella Kessler, Harry Fairchild with Pauline Claire Fairchild in his lap, a Wimmer child, and James Fairchild.
Back row, left to right: Marguerite (Hall) Fairchild, Harold Breece, William Fairchild, Alvin Green, Lucy (Fairchild) Green, Faher Wimmer, Irene (Fairchild) Breece, Bessie Wimmer, Carrie (Koser) Fairchild, Ellen (Fairchild) Filter, and Mildred (Fairchild) Schell (Lovetinsky et al., p. 100-102).
*Lest We Forget dates this photograph at 1935. However, as Pauline Claire Fairchild was born in 1936, a more accurate date may be mid to late 1930s.

Five cousins from the Fairchild family line up for a photograph, all wearing dress clothes. While the sidewalk they stand on is clear, the rest of the yard is covered in snow.
Left to right: Henry Timothy, William Wesley, Edward Francis, Timothy Marsh, and Charles Alexander Fairchild (Lovetinsky et al., p. 102).
William and Henry were the twin sons of Henry William and Grace (Fackler) Fairchild. William was born on April 8, 1907, and worked as a Senior Laboratory Technician at the University of Iowa Hospitals. He died in July of 1963 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 100; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1963).
Henry was born on April 9, 1907. He was a supervisor at the United States Postal Service. He married Opal Claire Wyjack on December 7, 1934. They had five children together, and raised a son from Opal's previous marriage: Pauline, James, Timothy, William, Roger, and Claude Williams. Henry died in November of 1978 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 100; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1978).
Edward was the only child of Stephen Francis and Caroline (Koser) Fairchild, born in 1911. He worked as a supervisor for the Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company. He married Mary Moylan and had two daughters: Diane and Joyce. He later married Naomi (Hoskinson) Gilson on November 5, 1960. They had no children together. Edward died in 1981; Naomi died two years later in September of 1983 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 102; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1983).
Timothy Marsh and Charles were both the sons of Timothy Marsh and Lena (Koser) Fairchild. Timothy Marsh was born August 3, 1908. After graduating from the University of Iowa's College of Dentistry in 1939, he began his own practice in Iola, Wisconsin, but returned to Iowa City in 1942 to teach and open a new practice. He married Marguerite Hall in 1932, and they had two children: Geraldine and Timothy (Lovetinsky et al., p. 101).
Charles was born on May 11, 1910. In 1933, he graduated from State Teacher's College in Bemidji, Minnesota, and went on to get his M.A. from the University of Iowa.

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.
