Title

Street Scene in Beacon, Iowa, Circa 1910

Description

Beacon, once known as the town of Enterprise, did not fully switch its name over until 1874. Beacon's success revolved around its coal mining connection and proximity to the railroad lines. Before Oskaloosa established a railroad line through its community, many goods came via railway to Beacon, allowing it to grow and become a thriving community. At one time, Beacon had its own town square. This picture depicts some homes along one of Beacon's main roads, that being Kilbourne Street.

Title

African-American History in Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

African-Americans played a very serious role in Mahaska County, Iowa history. From its early inception, African-Americans have participated in major events that determined the prosperity of the county. When Mahaska County was a major coal extractor in Iowa and the United States, African-Americans hard work and effort helped make this happen. Local businesses owned and operated by African-Americans gave the citizens of Mahaska County dependability and great service. From the Civil War until the present day, African-Americans have gave their service and lives in honor of the United States, Iowa, and Mahaska County. Pictured here are two African-Americans with a mule between 1890 and 1900 in Mahaska County, Iowa.

Title

W.A. McNeill, Railroad Capitalist and Entrepreneur, Oskaloosa, Iowa, circa 1906; Mahaska County

Description

Wilbur A. McNeill was a successful businessman in the coal mining industry. Born in 1843, McNeill gained his early education at Sandstone Seminary until 1861, when McNeill enlisted in the Fourth Illinois Cavalry to fight the Confederacy. McNeill was severely wounded in a hand to hand pistol duel while forces were skirmishing in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1873, McNeill partnered with his brother, Hobart A. McNeill, to form the Iowa Central Company, a coal mining business that eventually merged to form the Consolidated Coal Company. In 1881, McNeill and his brother sold the stock in the business for half a million dollars cash. Afterwards, McNeill founded the Oskaloosa Livery and Transfer Company, which enjoyed much success. McNeill then went on to become president of the W.A. Company in Seattle, Washington and the H.W. McNeill Company, Limited, in Alberta, Canada.
