#GR5 Prairie Farmer’s Home and County Directory of Dubuque County, Iowa

With approval of the original publisher, we have reprinted a compilation of farm families who answered a 1924 survey by the Prairie Farmer magazine. It includes the names of all members of the family and which children were living at home, as well as the wife’s maiden name. One of our members indexed the women’s maiden names and we have included that index. It is very interesting to search for the names of women who were sisters and who they married. Additional information and sections in the book include ownership of land, radios, automobiles, animal stock, and so forth. An overall demographic and historical picture of the farm families in 1924.
