the Neuenschwander connection
to Fayette County, Iowa

John Neuenschwander and Cilivia Harmon moved from Ohio, and settled in the pioneer village of Elgin, Fayette County, in Northeastern Iowa, in the early 1860's. John had immigrated to America from the Bern area of Switzerland in about 1848. John apparently had worked with Cilivia's brother Joseph as carriage/wagon maker in Monroe County, Ohio, as John remained in this profession until about 1895, when moved to a farm just to the west of Fayette, Iowa (index page of some Fayette Photo Albums). John, his first wife Civilia, and second wife Elizabeth are buried in the Elgin Cemetery. Several of John's children farmed in the Fayette, Randalia, Hawkeye area, while other parts of the family remained around Elgin. Two generation's later, much of the family had moved west, into the Cedar Rapids area, and dispersing to other parts of the country which was typical of pioneer families.

Fayette County, Iowa, Census Information, with personal interpretations; acquired from the Fayette County Iowa Historical, in West Union, 1990, bz.

1870 Census---John Neuenschwander, 38 and Cecilia Harmon Neuenschwander, 29 are living in Elgin, Pleasant Valley Twp., Fayette Co., Iowa. He is a wagon maker that immigrated from Switzerland. Children living in the household in 1870 are; William E., 6, George R., 3, Ida May, 1. He was taxed on personal property of $800 and real estate of $1500.

1880 Census---The census indicates John's wife Cecilia ( spelling is Sevilla in a family bibile) Harmon had died before 1872 as the youngest child "Ellen" in the household shows as 8yrs. The family was still in Elgin and shows only John and four children; John, 47, William E., 16, George R., 13, Ida May, 11, Ellen, 8. (Note: the marker for Sevilla in the Elgin Cemetery, immediately on the right of John Neuenschwander's marker, says Mother Civilia, 1841-1878, so there are three spellings being used, Sevilla by family genealogists, Cecilia in the Fayette County census notes, and Cevilia on the marker stone; bz).

1885 Census---John apparently had remarried to Elizabeth Mathys sometime around 1884, at they had a newly born infant on this date. The household shows; John 52 and his wife Elizabeth 23, George R., 18, Ida May, 15, Ellen 13, and new son Aurther, 0. William E. was now 21, had apparently moved out of the household, although his name does not show up on the 1885 census as head of a household.

1895 Census---John and family must have moved to Fayette, Iowa by this time, as the census shows the family in Westfield Twp., which is Fayette. The 1895 Census shows William, 30, stayed in Elgin, with Mary, 26, Sidney, 6, Percy, 4, Russel, 2, May Ella, 0. George, 28, and Anna, 24, show as a household in Elgin, with George being in manufacturing, probably as a wagon maker like his father John. Ida May, 25, were gone from John's household by 1895. Two more children had been born, the youngest was a new born in 1895; John was 62, Elizabeth, 33, Ellen (or Luella), 23, Aurther, 10, Levi G., 8, John, 0.

Hazel would be the last child, John was 65 when she was born, Elizabeth 36. The other children are on their own; William, 36, George R., 33, Ida May, 28.
