The collection also shows the library staff members, board members, community supporters and volunteers who made these resources and services possible. <br /><br />Descriptions for each image were written by Rachel Black and Wendy Stevenson using information from the donors, past and current library staff members and volunteers, 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 Allison Ames Galstad, Ellen Hampe Alexander, and all of our donors. <br /><br /><strong>Donations for this collection are on-going.</strong> If you have photographs and documents of the Coralville Public Library you would like included in this collection, please contact the Coralville Digital History Library.<br /><br />coralvilledigitalhistory@coralville.org<br /><br /><a href="https://coralvilledigitalhistory.omeka.net/Contribution" target="_blank" title="Contibutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donate here</a>

Description
An account of the resource
Albert O. Carlton leans against a doorway to a brick building in what looks to be an alleyway. Both hands in his pockets, he wears a three piece suit and a bowler cap. A camera appears to be perched on a stand of some kind in the right side of the photograph, nearly level with his shins.
Albert O. "Bud" Carlton was born February 18, 1872 to James A. and Mary Elizabeth (Augustine) Carlton in Clarksville, Iowa. On April 4, 1911, he married Edna May Baker, born to John and Dora (Hotopp) Baker on October 8, 1866. The couple had three children: Alice, Albert, and Helen.
In 1913, the Carltons moved to Iowa City, where Albert worked for the Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company before being transferred to the plant in Coralville. The family returned to Coralville in 1935. Albert was also part of the Coralville City Council, acting as Recorder for five years. In March of 1945, Albert retired from the plant. He died ten years later in May of 1955. Edna May passed in May of 1960 (Iowa City Press Citizen, 1955; Iowa City Press-Citizen, 1960; Lovetinsky et al., p. 93).

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).

Alvin and Leona (Conklin) Prizler pause for a picture on their way down the church aisle during their wedding. Alvin wears a dark suit. Leona has her arm in his, and wears a white wedding gown, veil, and pearls. A bouquet of flowers is held in her other hand. Their wedding, which took place on October 2, 1951, was the last to be performed in the old church building, used for Evangelical Free Church services. The building was later renovated in 1953 and served as the Coralville City Hall until 1974.
