The Hills meet the Prairie in Fairfield Township
The beginnings of the Fairfield Township
The Pioneer years 
The Railroad brings the boom years.
1860 Census of Fairfield Township, Fayette County, Iowa

In Fairfield Township the Hills met the Prairie---
....Food is a basic necessity for life.  Farmers grow food.  In Iowa during from about 1850 to 1950+, farming was the major occupation. "Iowa never looked more delightful and promiseing.  All that is wanting is capital, industry, true Christianity or moral worth in the people, to make it a very paradise."  Letter from J.H. Williams, 11 July 1859.
....Most pioneer farmers used teams of oxen as draft animals, often 4-8 teams (of two) chained together. Oxen pulled heavier loads and where hardier than horses under the harsh conditions of the hills and prairie.  They were cheaper, easier to train and produce, and could survive on the natives grasses and vegetation.  "Started this morning about 8 o'clock--took my first lesson in the science of oxology."  Diary of Horace Whitney, 9 April 1846.
....Prairie grass covered most of Iowa, with only the northeastern counties having timbered hills untouched by the last glaciation, which cut northwest to southeast across what would become Fayette County, Iowa.  On the 1875 map of Fairfield Township, the prairie is to the west of the line running along the old Mission Trail which ran through Brush Creek (Arlington).  .  "Started at six and passed through the handsomest country I ever behild paria's (prairies) decked with varied flowers.  And in the midst of a wide spreading paraire (prairie) we observed a beautiful grove."  Diary of Sarah Maria Mousley, 18 June 1857  
....Out on the true prairies, trees and shrubs grew along the streams and waterways, with sometimes a major hilltop larger stand of trees. Since the "woods" was an old friend from "back east" these timber stand on the prairie attracted the pioneers and often several families would claim land in or near them, and a small settlement would develop.  These "groves" offered the must have wood for fuel, building, protection.  Thus many of the early settlers into Fayette County came up form places like Ead's Grove (Manchester) as Dubuque and Delaware Counties were settled 10-20 years before Fayette County, and the Mission Road out of Dubuque to Fort Atkinson our in Neutral Ground was a route into Fairfield Twp"Coming out on the prairie west of the timber, we saw a sight never to be forgotten,---the land covered with a luxuriant growth of grass, known as the blue stem.  It grew tall as a man could reach.  I said to the boys, this is good enough for me.  I guess I won't go any farther."  Reminiscences of W.J. Silvers, fall of 1854.

In the beginning of Fairfield Township, a history---

1837....The Brush Creek and Taylorville area of SE Fayette County, Iowa was surveyed shortly after 1836 after the land taken from the native American’s by the U.S. government in the Blackhawk War and Blackhawk "Treaty." White settlers began immediately "probing" Native lands to claim as their own.
1838....A map of the Black Hawk "Exploitation" shows the lines of neutral ground and the Black Hawk territory taken. At this time there were only four townships in Fayette County surveyed and open to settlement, Putnam, Fairfield, Smithfield and Scott, which included the area of Brush Creek.

1840....In 1840, the Government established a military post north of Fayette County, in Winnesheik, called Fort Atkinson, and three or four miles south established a Mission school for the Winnebagoes.  The Fort was just inside the southern boarder of Winneshiek County.  The Mission School and Post Office was three miles to the south, just inside Fayette County, at NW 1/4, Sec 8, T95, R9,  Auburn Twp.  This naturally attracted the attention of the pioneers of that day, and in the Spring or early Summer of 1840, Franklin Wilcox, with his wife and little daughter, and his brother Nathaniel, came from Illinois to Fayette County and made a settlement. Franklin Wilcox built a cabin thirty or forty rods north of the north line of Township 92-8, on unsurveyed land, six or eight rods west of a little creek that runs northerly through the southeast quarter of Section 32. This was about 1 ½ miles south and a little west of what would become the village of Westfield/Fayette in the Volga River Valley.  During the mid 1830's and well into the 1840's the Fayette County land area was being probed by men seeking a living trading with the Indians,  trapping, hunting, generally exploring.  Often their shelters were a lean-to or wigwam style similar to the native.  Dug-out shelters were also used.  These men did not own any land, even though sometimes they would clear a small patch and plant a little crop or garden.  They often over-wintered back to the south of Indian Territory or the Neutral Ground, and then would get back on the move in the spring.  Winter was a tough time in NE Iowa.  Even many of the Indians who had been living here for hundreds of years perished in the Iowa Blizzards.  There were very, very few whites in Fayette County until into the 1850's. 

1841....The first family came into the area in ‘41or’42, to settle 1 1/4mi north of the present town of Arlington (in 2000). Other families would arrive in the late 1840’s, to claim government land. All of these early settlers relied on farming and agricultural skills, with mill wrights and merchants trickling in to support the agricultural industry. All goods would be brought in by the pioneers themselves or by teamsters, men with larger wagons pulled with oxen from the Dubuque area along the Mission Trial with would wind from the SE to the NW corners of Fayette County to Fr. Atkinson in SW Winneshiek County. Two Mississippi River ports would be used in the early years for goods transfer, Dubuque and McGregor. Agricultural goods would have to be moved/sold to the eastern states if a pioneer area was to be successful. Brush Creek/Taylorville would geographically be on the edge of the area missed by the last glacier and therefore the hills to the NE, and the glaciated area which would develop under tall and wet grass prairie. Tall grass prairie, with vegetation 5-10 feet tall offered a difficult barrier to cultivation by the early wood and iron plows. Steel plows would be developed in the early shortly. Plowing was generally done by oxen teams because of their power and stamina, however eventually teams of Morgan and Belgium draft horses would be used, as horses are faster and easier to control. Wet grass prairie was difficult to plow and often just grazed. Prairie farmers needed wood for heat energy, building, tools, so they all acquired small woodland property in the hills to the NE or along stream edges. The natural habitat around Brush Creek/Taylorville would change dramatically from 1845-1855. Very little natural habitat would remain by 1860, as pioneer plows and animals would go to work, human population per square mile would rapidly reach a point of which the land could support with the type of pioneer agriculture available at the time. Villages would generally be from about 50-400 people, every 3-8 miles, as that is the number supported by the agriculture of a pioneer times. Until 1873, when the Railroad would come into Brush Creek and NW across Fayette County, the pioneer farms and villages would remain relatively stable and unchanged. After the Railroad, due to increased communication and freight movement, a new era of agriculture would develop, with steam and gas power coming onto the scene, however farms would remain relatively small, 80-240 acres until the Big Business Era which began mushrooming in the 1960’s. Thus the viable pioneer history of Arlington runs from 1840 though 1950’s. Sad but true, tales of Arlington, like tales of the Native American’s will be all that is left in the next century.

1842...In 1842, buffalo were killed near where Taylorsville now stands, and elks were plentiful at that time, and later, as many as forty having been seen sometimes in one drove. Mr. Paddelford, from near Volga City, says that while sitting on his horse he has counted as many as sixty deer at one time. There were also bears, panthers, lynxes and wolves in abundance; the wolves were of three kinds, black, gray and prairie wolves.
1842-1843....The winter was very severe. Joseph Hewitt is reported to have saved many "Redskins" from starvation by caring for them when they could not hunt because of the extreme cold and snow.

1843....Mortimer C. Sperry made a trek into the southern part of Fayette County and came back in 1846 settling in what would be Talyorsville....About 1 ½ miles west of where Sperry would settle was a small stream known then as now as Brush Creek. This is little stream arose several miles southwest of the Sperry’s in the prairie sloughs and runs practically north seven miles where it emptied into the Volga River about a mile east of the town of Wadena. Where the Brush Creek stream begins and for several miles of its drainage, the land was wet grass prairie, quite marshy and level. However just to the west of what would become Taylorville (Sperry’s area of settlement) the prairie stream entered the area of hilly timber land, the area that had been bascially untouched by the last glaciation, and therefore not "ground down" flat) and runs through deep limestone gorges impassable even to horses and wagons at that time. As the little villages of Taylorville and Brush Creek developed in the future two decades Taylorville would appear to be the "future" of the area. The geology of the area would have marked effects on town development, failure or success. The railroad in the coming decades would select the route to the south of Taylorville leaving the village abandoned. The rails would be located to the north of Brush Creek because it was easier to haul fill into the wet grass prairie areas for a road bed then to build across the deep ravines to the west of Taylorville.

THE PIONEER YEARS---1844 TO 1873 
....The Railroad came in 1873 to usher in the boom years for Fayette County.

1844....The first cabin was built north of the future village of Brush Creek in "Bear Woods." By Major Mumford....Daniel P. Hensley, the first white child is born in Fayette county.

1846....Mortimer C. Sperry would enter Fayette County and be the first to plow land in the Taylorville area.

1847....The first election held in this precinct was in the spring of 1847, at the house of Palmer Newton, near Brush Creek, and west of Taylorsville. The precinct embraced the present Clayton Co. townships of Sperry, Cox Creek and Cass, and the country west as far as the town of Fayette, in Fayette County, and at the first election there were about twenty-five votes polled. After the election was over, the trustees drew cuts to decide which of them should take the election returns to Guttenberg. It fell to the lot of Mr. Paddelford to go, and he made the round trip on foot. The rivers and creeks being swollen, on account of the recent heavy rains, made the trip anything but a pleasant one1850....A log schoolhouse was constructed at Taylorsville....The first school was held in Brush Creek....Early Reverends as John Brown were preaching in the county by 1847.

1848....In November, 1848, snow fell to the depth of eighteen inches, and remained until April, 1849. It was a cold, hard winter for the settlers of Fayette as well as other sections of the state. In 1848-49, before the surveys were completed, and before the lands were in market, the settlers organized a Claim Society for the purpose of mutual protection against claim jumpers.

1850....Robert LeRoy Newton was born in a log cabin in Fairfield Twp. The Newton family was the 6^th white family to occupy Fairfield Twp....A log school house was erected in Brush Creek, and also used for regular church services....Traveling ministers would keep up services until about 1876.

1856....A newly platted village location was laid out in plats on the eastern half of Sec. 28, twp 92, R7 in the Spring of 1856, by B.F. Little, on farmland owned by C.D. & T.E. Shambaugh, D.C. Finney, F.R. Hynes, Nelson Huskins, and Isaac Walrath. For a short time it would be called Moetown after one of the first white land owners (Moe) in the area....The lots were laid out along the military trail leading to Ft. Aktinson. Main Street of present day Arlington is the old Mission Road....Instead of Moetown, the lots for sale would soon take on the name Brush Creek because of the brushy willow-lined creek at the northern end of the platted lots along the Mission Trail.....O.R. Robbins purchased the first lot as the site of Brush Creek for $20.00....C.D. Shambaugh opened a general store at the NW end of the main street in Brush Creek. Almost no women were listed on his roster (supplies were generally signed for, and barter/cash given later)....In May 1856, the first few Lutheran families came to the Brush Creek village, and by about 1893, five Lutheran families organized a congregation and held church in various places.

1856-1870
....Brush creek consisted of a very small hamlet with a store or two, blacksmith shop, cooper’s shop, a couple of carpenters, and a few houses of logs, with board or frame houses starting to appear. Housing and buildings were still quite basic. Water was carried from the creek north of town, or pulled up in wooden pails from hand dug wells 4-6 feet across, and sometimes lined with timber or stones hauled in from north of town. Outhouses were the only source of human waste disposal. Brush Creek, until about 1870, was just a few people gathered together, making a living from farming and/or supporting the farmers of the area. All that would start to change rapidly in 1870.
....Fairfield Township was about half timbered hill country and about half flatter tall and wet grass prairie land. The hill county started on the northern edge of Brush Creek and ran basically all the way to the state line. In all other directions and to the northwest the natural tall grass prairie was found in the dryer areas, but there were vast amounts of wet grass prairie, marsh and boggy lands, with small tree lined streams running throughout.
....All farmers and townspeople needed wood for energy and building, thus almost every family owned at least a small woodland area or had access to someone else’s holdings in the "Brush Creek Woods." Wood, stone and leather were the major building materials until well into the 1900’s. Brush Creek offered during early pioneer times a very attractive place to settle due to the rich prairie soil to the west and the good timber to the north, plus is was on the Mission Road, with a direct teamster and stage coach route to Dubuque, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, then only very small pioneer towns, also.
....As Brush Creek was being settled, to the north in the Volga River Valley, towns were springing up around early mills. The Volga was only six miles north and ran west to east across Fayette County into Clayton County connecting to the Turkey River, and on to the Mississippi River. The Volga and the Turkey Rivers were not navigation types of rivers, but were clear, fast running rivers with many prime locations for mills, to saw lumber and grind grains. Towns would spring up at Volga City, Wadena, Lima, Albany, Westfield, Fayette, all within eight miles of Brush Creek.

1857
....Melvin Lackey came to Brush Creek in the fall of this year. While in the bar room of the Shambaugh Hotel, Mr. Lackey complained of a toothache. It just happened that Dr. Alexander of Fayette was in town and overheard the complaint. The "sympathetic" Doctor asked to see the ungrateful tooth, and while Mr. Lackey leaned back with his eyes shut, mouth wide open, the "good Doctor" took from his pocket a pair of forceps, fastened them on the unruly member. Lackey bellowed, the crowd laughed and the tooth was out before Lackey knew what was going on. The dentistry of the day.

1858
....The Christian Church (Church of Christ) was organized and was the only denomination owning and maintaining a church building in Brush Creek until 1876, when the Methodist Episcopal Society was organized. The 1896 version of the Church still is in use and located on a SW corner of the business district. The first members were the Shambaugh families, the Little families and the Jacob Hill family. This is the Church that the Thompson Clan have a significant part in running. There would be marriages within the families of the church, with a Thompson/Shambaugh connection. Martha Sherman Thompson, would in later years marry M.F. Little, who farmed about two miles north of the farm of Morris J. just to the west of Brush Creek. There were a number of Little families growing up in Brush Creek. Most of the Little Clan were coopers, and like many people also farmed.

1865
....Ciivil War soldiers were transported with teams to McGregor to be taken by boat down the Mississippi to Dubuque, Davenport or St. Louis, where they were drilled, given uniforms, guns, equipment. Many would not return to farm again in the Brush Creek area.

1869
....The fire of 1869 destroyed a number of businesses, which courage were rebuilt with improved two and three story brick structures.

1870-1873
....The Railroad was on it way into Fayette County and would run along the northern edge of Brush Creek on its way to Fayette. With word of the coming of the railroad there was speculation of booming commercial possibilities.
....Two store buildings were added and stocked with goods, bringing the total to three merchants. All items for sale or barter through this time were either made locally or brought in by teamsters o individuals using wagons pulled by oxen or horses over generally rutted, often muddy, wet trails, often following the best Indian trails along the ridges and dry land. But still rivers and wet lands had to be crossed. Movement of grain and livestock products to a market population was very difficult and slow. Money therefore was very, very scarce. Coopers were in demand as oak barrels were the major containers for shipping any product. Grain could be stored and transported but was very susceptible to destruction by rodents and insects. Milk could not be stored. Iowa pioneers did not make cheese for transport, however, they did make butter from the cream that settled naturally out of the rich milk of their cows. Butter could be heavily salted, packed into to wooden containers and relatively sealed for transport by wagon out to some larger market. If you were going to sell livestock, they had to be taken the long distance to a larger market. Hogs were often allowed to run wild, often in the timber, then rounded up, slaughtered, the meat smoked and salted to take to market for sale. Salt was obviously in high demand as it was the major way of keeping meat products from spoiling for any length of time. No canning, no refrigeration, containers in short supply, small local population, money scarce, transportation difficult and slow. Thus one can see why most "things" in pioneer times were grown, made, used locally.

THE RAILROAD BOOM YEARS---1873-1875+
....Growth of Brush Creek was phenomenal, from $20,000 to $500,000 annual business in two years. The reason, the coming of the Railroad, was a revolution in communication and transportation.

1873
....There was limited but steady growth in the Brush Creek/Taylorville area until the RR came in 1873, when a new era of communication/transportation would begin.
....On July 22, 1873, the first train car load of merchandise came into Brush Creek, Iowa. Building and business would literally explode compared to the early Pioneer Years of 1850 to the Summer of 1873.

1875
....By October 1875, Brush Creek had six general stores, three millinery shops, one harness maker, a cobbler who manufactured boots and shoes, Gleim’s furniture and undertaking, three clothing stores, one dress goods shop, two drug stores, one watch repariman, one hardwared, one barber, one photographer, a newspaper, post office, three saloons, the St. Cloud and Pacific Hotel, Shambaugh House Hotel, two carpenter shops, a foundry, blacksmith, cooper, wagon maker, wagon and sled repair shop, gunsmith, insurance company, two justices of the peace, two butcher shops, four doctors, one surgeons , two attorneys, one lumber yard, one music store giving lessons in piano, organ, violin, a railroad station and agent, two grain elevators, one warehouse, one butter and egg dealer, four stone masons and plasterers, Rice, Rawson, Doane dealers and shippers of livestock, a library association, the A.F.& A.M. Lodge, the Christian Church.
....The St. Cloud, W.S. Kenyon, Prop., advertised sample rooms on the first floor, free bus (horse drawn wagon) to and from all trains, livery in connections, and a good feed stable at reasonable prices.

1877
....The first Brush Creek Creamery was built to commercially buy milk from area farmers and to process it generally into butter, which was salted and shipped out by rail to eastern towns. It was located east of main east of main street about mid way up the slopping hill from Brush Creek. It was a one story 24x65ft structure of wood and stone. Water from a chain pump well was used to cool milk. Milk was held in 4x2x1ft pans in wooden vats. As the milk started to just turn sour the cream would separate and could be skimmed from the top to be churned into butter, which could be salted, placed in 64# oak tubs and shipped to markets in the east by rail. Horse power was all that was available to turn the large churn constructed with several years. Buttermilk would be pumped off using horse power, and returned in milk cans back to the farmers who supplied the raw milk, to be fed to hogs. Buttermilk was the "just turned" sour skim milk left when the cream was skimmed. Many of the early farm families learned to like the taste and consumed the buttermilk as a food source. Milk haulers using wagons and team would travel the dirt roads and trails picking up the milk from the farms

1878
....The Creamery was receiving about 7,000# or over 1000gallons of milk daily. Raising dairy cows and running herd from 20-40 milk cows was a major farm industry of the time. With the coming of the Railroads, butter could be shipped in unlimited amounts, so farmers could sell all the milk they could produce and have readily available cash flow to buy land, livestock, implements, and other necessities.
....Thompson’s Listed in Brush Creek, 1878: D. B. laborer, Eli blacksmith, Thompson, Z. atty at law, John A. dealer in boots, shoes, & gro., Morris J. blacksmith.

1879
....Businesses and professional people: C.F. Waldron, M.D.; James Cooney, Attorney; Harrison Smith, teamster; Curly’s Billiard Hall; John Beaman’s Drug Store; A. Rittenhouse, dry goods; W. D. Little, manufacturer of washing machines; T. M. Sabin, M.D.; Thompson Brothers, Attorneys; Brush Creek Bank; A.D. Eaton, Dentist; Prof. F. Clark, barber; Howard and Mitchell undertaking; Walrath and Son, hardware; Brush Creek News; J.A. Thompson, general merchandise; J. B. Ward and Son, mill; Carpenter Brothers, foundry; I.E. Osborn, restaurant; James Kind, furniture and undertaking; Fred Schnieder, talyor.

Surnames in Fairfield County in the 1860 Census 

....There were about 133 surnames and 168 households in 1860 Fairfield County with most of them settled the hill/timber area in the eastern and northern part of the county.  The tall/wet grass prairie farms in the southwest/western part of the county was sparsely settled in 1860, but in the 1860, the area to the west of Brush Creek would produce some of the most productive farms, as Iowa prairie soil once it could be broken had 15-25 inches of a rich black humus, and would produce extremely high yields, if not too wet,  compared to the thin hill soils.
....In 1860 the only cluster of people that would become towns was around the Brush Creek and Taylorsville locations, with Taylorsville growing much faster than Brush Creek (until the railroad came in 1873, and caused Taylorsville to rapidly decline with many of the merchants and people moving into Brush Creek.  Today, on the Village of Arlington (Brush Creek) remains, and only a "shell" of its pioneer boom years and agricultural center years from 1860-1960.  Like most Fayette County towns, they has about a century of prosperity before the rapid decline due to big agri-business and the development of the "mega" towns/cities.
