An account of the resource
The Images of America: Coralville, Iowa collection contains the photographs gathered by Timothy Walch as he did research for his 2015 book <em>Images of America: Coralville, </em>which is part of the "Images of America" series by Arcadia Publishing.

The wide range of topics is reflected in this collection, which includes family photographs, images of the mill industries and other local businesses, a portrait series of past mayors, and class pictures from Coralville schools. Also included are images of community groups, road construction, destruction from fires and floods, and local holiday celebrations.<br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors and the primary sources listed below. If users of this database have additional information about the images or notice discrepancies, they are encouraged to reach out to the Coralvillle Digital History Library.<br /><br />A special thank you to Timothy Walch, Allison Ames Galstad, Ellen Hampe Alexander, Rex Brandstatter, Wendy Stevenson, and all of our donors. <br /><br /><strong>This collection currently contains 297 items.</strong> To access all items in this collection, please click <strong><a href="https://coralvilledigitalhistory.omeka.net/collections/show/1" target="_blank" title="Images of America" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></strong>.<i></i>

Description
An account of the resource
Nine uniformed men stand in a triangle formation, the point of which is directed away from the camera. 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.

Two unidentified girls smile for a photograph while dressed in Girl Scouts uniforms. The white five on the patch on the upper sleeve of the uniform suggests these girls were a part of Girl Scouts Troop #55, which was the troop that started raising funds for a Coralville library in 1964 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 70).

As written in Lest We Forget: Coralville, page 75:
"The 1972 officers of Clarksville Lodge #668 AF and AM were installed by Dr. W. W. Morris, Grand Master of Masons in Iowa. He is shown at left of photo presenting Paul Hensley, Master, with the gavel. Dr. Morris was assisted by (left to right) Paul Hursch, Grand Marshall; Raymond Wagner, Chaplain and Robert Gaut, Secretary.
The jewels worn by the officers were handmade and presented by Dr. William B. Kennedy. He also hand carved and presented the three gavels used by the three principal officers of the lodge. The lodge aprons were donated by Gordon C. Hall while he was president of the Coralville Bank. The lodge furniture was acquired by Claude Higginbotham and the Masonic emblems were made by Eugene Maske."
At the time of publication, there were 41 Master Masons in Clarksville Lodge #668 (Lovetinsky et al., 74).

An account of the resource
Ermal Loghry, owner of the Carousel Restaurant, and Roy Tipton stand in front of a large, rotating griddle covered in cooking pancakes. Roy scoops done pancakes onto a plate, while Ermal squeezes batter onto empty spaces. Both wear white shirts, aprons, and hats. A tower of stacked plates full of pancakes balances by Ermal's right arm.
The Optimist Pancake Day was an annual fundraiser meant to raise money for local youth activities. Group members donated this money and their time to support community events, such as the Halloween Party, Easter Egg Hunt, Babe Ruth Baseball, Bicycle Safety Week, and more. The Optimist Club also gave money to the school library and Cub Scouts (Lovetinsky et al., p. 74).

Description
An account of the resource
A group of children wait their turn to have their bicycles inspected by Optimist Club member Arnold Bartels, who kneels on the sidewalk to test the tire pressure of the first bicycle in line. The bicycle safety check was sponsored annually by the Optimist Club (Lovetinsky et al., p. 74; Walch, p. 110).
This image is most likely taken outside of the Coralville Elementary School. All participants wear coats, and two of the boys appear to have paper packets, likely a checklist for the inspector.

Description
An account of the resource
Sixteen members of the Coralville Heights Club gather for a photograph. Six women kneel, while the others stand behind them in a line. All wear dresses in various patterns.
First row, left to right: Ona Zimmerli, Beatrice Rinda, Sally Robertson, Blanche Cortlett, Isabel Webb, Vera Russell.
Back row, left to right: Mrs. Seeber, Genevieve Brandstatter, Virginia Jones, Ruth Evans, Winnie Shay, Mrs. Sullivan, Nadine Bender, Connie West, Mrs. Kohn, Mollie Webb.
The Coralville Heights Club was formed on May 10, 1928 in the home of Ed and Beatrice Rinda as a neighborhood social club for women, although husbands were invited to attend the second meeting of the month.
The club would gather to craft and exchange recipes, though as the town and club grew, their projects became civic focused. Members helped organize garbage collection, playgrounds, and road repair; they also named streets and numbered houses. They were also focused on projects meant to help Coralville Heights children, from schooling and education to safety and recreational programs. The Club made a significant impact on the local community from the 1930s-1970s. Their responsibilities were eventually taken over by the city of Coralville when Coralville Heights was incorporated (Lovetinsky et al., p. 69-70; Walch, p. 107; Ancestry Library; Brandstatter).

The wide range of topics is reflected in this collection, which includes family photographs, images of the mill industries and other local businesses, a portrait series of past mayors, and class pictures from Coralville schools. Also included are images of community groups, road construction, destruction from fires and floods, and local holiday celebrations.<br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors and the primary sources listed below.

Description
An account of the resource
A photograph of Harold D. Paschal, the Grand Master of the masonic Clarksville Lodge 668 of Coralville, and Mayor Michael Kattchee stand next to the public library cornerstone. The symbolic laying of the cornerstone ceremony was attended by about 75 people; the actual cornerstone was later placed into the wall of the building with a time capsule behind it.
The following quote was printed in the Coralville Courier: "According to Kattchee the library is not being built just because it would be 'nice' or because some people want it. Calling libraries the 'backbone of our democratic society,' Kattchee said the 'main and foremost reason is that the citizens of Coralville need a library'" (Coralville Courier, 1986).
