The Skunk River is a mid-size river in terms of both its width and distance. The Skunk River also consists of two branches: the North Skunk River and South Skunk River. The irony of the two branches is that the South Skunk River actually begins its descent to the Mississippi River north of the North Skunk River. The two branches come together in Keokuk County, which borders Mahaska County directly to the East.

Rice was born in southern New York in 1828 and studied to become a lawyer. After graduating from law school and passing the bar exam, he practiced law in Fairfield, Iowa and then Oskaloosa, Iowa. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Rice was commissioned by Governor Kirkwood as Colonel of the 33rd Iowa Regiment on August 10, 1862. Rice was promoted to Brigadier General after being recognized for saving the day in the Battle of Helena on July 4, 1863; the same day that the Union was victorious in Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Pushing deep into the South, General Rice was mortally wounded at the Battle of Jenkins Ferry, Arkansas, on April 30, 1864 after being struck by a Confederate bullet in the foot. Rice was brought back to his hometown of Oskaloosa in the days that ensued, eventually passing away from his wounds on July 6, 1864. Rice was 36 years old. He is buried at Forest Cemetery in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Prior to this, the horse and buggy were the common method of transportation used in the community, as it was across all of America at that time. When communities began building common paved roads for automobile use, towns had to adjust to the idea of the automobile replacing the horse and buggy as a primary means of travel. However, the introduction of the common road did create many construction jobs across the country, so while many had to adjust to the new sight of a paved road, most were ready for the change with all the positive changes the roads brought.

Barnhouse comes to mind often. Barnhouse came to Iowa from West Virginia as a young adult in search of a successful music career. In 1890, he made Oskaloosa, Iowa his residence and formed the Knights of Pythias Brigade Band. A self-taught cornet player, Barnhouse and his band practiced their music and routines constantly, establishing themselves among the people of Oskaloosa and that of Iowa as an entertaining and serious band. When Barnhouse came to Iowa, he also created the Barnhouse Music Publishing Company, which emphasized printing and publicizing music created during the late 19th Century. This business was very successful and is still running today in Oskaloosa.
