It was not until 1842, however, that the establishment of this school became feasible. Messrs. Curtis Shedd, Timothy Fox and Lewis Epps, the proprietors of the town, had donated one-half the lots to the proposed institution, and by special act of the Iowa Territorial Legislature, approved February 3, 1843 , Denmark Academy was incorporated. Isaac Field, Reuben Brackett, Oliver Brooks, Hartwell J. Taylor and Asa Turner, Jr., were named in the act as the first Trustees, who were to hold their offices for one year from the first Monday in March following. The object of the act was to establish a "literary institution for the purpose of instructing the youth of both sexes in science and literature." The town lots donated were designated as part of the stock, and the proceeds arising from their sale was to constitute a permanent fund, the interest only to be used. Other stock was issued in shares of $25 each, which were to be considered as personal property and transferable on the books of the corporation, and the annual income of the institution (not including tuition) was limited to $3,000. The original Trustees continued to hold office for many years, being re- elected at each annual meeting. Albert A. Sturgis, of Washington , Iowa , was employed to take charge, and the first session of the Academy was opened in September, 1845, in the Congregational Church, which, prior to that time, had been used as a district school-room. The patronage of the school was derived principally from the residents of Denmark and vicinity, and while the number of students was small as compared with its present attendance, the founders were thoroughly satisfied with their beginning. Mr. Sturgis continued in charge until the fall of 1848, when he went East, studied theology, entered the ministry, and, soon after, went as a missionary to the Mycronecian Islands , where he still remains. Mr. Sturgis was succeeded by George W. Drake, and continued at the head of the Academy until July, 1852. In September of the same year, H. K. Edson was placed in charge. Mr. Edson proved a most valuable acquisition, as his continuation to the present time indicates. He has given his entire time to the Academy until the present year, when, at his own request, he was granted leave of absence for one year, and is now traveling and studying in Europe . His wife, who, for many years, presided over the female department, accompanied him. In 1848, the Trustees decided to erect a building of their own, and a stone edifice was erected, at a cost of some $2,500. Mr. Isaac Field, as the Building Committee, superintended the erection of the building, assorting the stones with his own hands. This building was occupied until the year 1865, when larger facilities were demanded, and the erection of a main building, to which the old one now forms an addition. The new edifice was completed in 1877, costing about $17,000. Messrs. Isaac Field and Curtis Shedd constituted the Building Committee; but, as in the former case, the larger part of the supervision devolved upon Mr. Field. The contract for the stone-work was let to Mr. Fry and partner (name forgotten); but the latter backing out, Mr. Fry completed the work, in a most satisfactory manner to the Trustees, although at a large pecuniary loss to himself. Be it said, however, that having faithfully performed his work the Trustees did not allow him to suffer, but paid him an excess over the contract price. After the completion of the new building, the old charter and the stock were surrendered to a Board of fourteen Trustees provided for by the new articles of incorporation filed January 21, 1868 , under the general laws of the State. Thirteen of the fourteen Trustees were elected March 2, 1868 , as follows: Isaac Field, Oliver Brooks, Lewis Epps, A. M. Fisher, T. S. Taylor, Asa Turner, John Houston, H. K. Edson, George Shedd, Curtis Shedd, William Brown, Kellogg Day and H. Mills. The Trustees, by the new articles of incorporation, are made sole managers of the Academy, and have power to fill vacancies in their own body. Denmark Academy has acquired a reputation for thorough training and capable management second to none in the State. The business depression in the country has decreased the attendance, to some extent during the last two years; but its general advancement in attendance and efficiency has been continuous since its organization. The Academy possesses a good apparatus, cabinet and library. The teachers in charge, during the present session of 1878-79, are: George W. Brigham, Principal; Mrs. George W. Brigham, Preceptress; Rev. D. D. Tibbetts and Miss Anna D. Smith, Assistants, and Miss Helen B. Smith, Teacher of Music. HOUSTON, SAMUEL , farmer, Sec. 35; P. O. Denmark; born in Hillshoro Co., N. H., 1815; lived on a farm, in his 21st year came to the then Territory of Wisconsin direct to the section where he now resides; bought a claim with some improvements; the following year, his parents came and settled on adjoining property; with them he made his home until 1848, then he married Catharine Hornby, a sister of Wm. L. Hornby, whose biography appears elsewhere; since he has continued to cultivate and improve his farm, consisting of 165 acres of land, valued at $40 per acre. They have seven children - Annie M., born March, 1847, the wife of Wm. L. Morgan, of Kansas ; Camilla J., born May, 1851, the wife of H. S. Dearing, of Boone Co., Iowa ; Chas. T., born July, 1856; Edward C., born July, 1858; Harry W., born April, 1861; Carrie M., born January, 1864, and Arthur S., born February, 1867. Republican. Mr. and Mrs. H. and two eldest daughters, are members of the Congregational Church at Denmark . He was among the original members of that church; the family are very attentive at religious exercises; it has been said that for over twenty years they had not missed a single Sabbath; the father of Mr. H., Ira Houston , Sr., was a native of Hillsboro Co., N. H., born in 1786; married Elizabeth Epps, daughter of Jos. E.; she was born in the same county, in 1792; had two sons and four daughters; all are married and settled in Lee or adjoining counties; the family came here in 1837, with teams; were two months on the road. They also were members of the Congregational Church; the father was leader of the choir in early times. ---------------------- The following is from p 671: CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH of DENMARK The founders of the Church were Timothy Fox, Lewis Epps, Curtis Shedd and their families, Edward A. hills and Samuel Houston, who came early in 1836. In October following came William Brown and family, and among those who followed in 1837 were William B. Cooper, Ira Houston, David Wilson, John Hornby and Charles Whitmarsh, with their families; also Hartwell J. Taylor, Francis Sawyer, Jr., Timothy Sawyer, John E. Leeper, Austin Newton, Alonzo Barton and J. Gilman Field, single men. At the organization, Rev. J. A. Reed, of Warsaw , Ill. , and Rev. Asa Turner, of Quincy , were invited to assist. The first house of worship was 24x20 feet, covered with split boards, loose floor and unplastered walls. Rev. Asa Turner, whose anti-slavery ideas would not be tolerated any longer at Quincy , Ill. , where he had been preaching, was invited to the Church in July, 1838, and employed half his time. During this year, Daniel Epps, Francis Sawyer, Sr., Oliver Brooks, Isaac Field and Jonathan Bullard, with their families, came to the settlement and the Church was further strengthened. Rev. Asa Turner was installed Pastor November 5, 1840 , by the Illinois Association. The ministers present on this occasion were Rev. William Kirby, Rev. William Carter, Rev. B. F. Morris and Rev. Reuben Gaylord; also Charles Burnham, a licentiate. At this meeting was formed the Iowa Congregational Association, consisting of Revs. Asa Turner, J. A. Reed, Reuben Gaylord and Charles Burnham. The Churches embraced in the Association were Denmark , Lee County ; Farmington , Van Buren Country; Fairfield , Jefferson County ; and Danville , in Des Moines County . In 1845, the Church began the erection of a new house of worship, which was completed the next year and dedicated in July. This house was destroyed by an incendiary fire some ten or twelve years afterward, after which the present building was erected. An important event in the history of Denmark occurred in 1868, when, being without a Pastor, Prof. H. K. Edson was appointed a committee of one to fill the vacancy. He selected Rev. E. Y. Swift, who was installed in the following year, and still continues in charge of the congregation. Mr. Swift has proved a valuable acquisition to the community. By his consistent Christian character, he has endeared himself to his Church, and, recognizing the inevitable advance in religious thought and action, he has acquired the esteem and admiration of the community generally.
