(1)Susan Pleasant Russell, and the date of her death matches that in Stewart's book p. 37. John P. Hollingsworth (3) is their son, born 28 Oct 1818, and deathdate as well in Stewart. John Young is probably the same who Stewart says married Esther Hollingsworth, another child of Robert and Susannah. Susan R. Young would probably be a child of his, not carried out,in Stewart (p. 36). But who was David White?

"The Andreas Atlas of Iowa, 1875", is a goldmine of data. It was reprinted in the 1970s. We have seen the original also, a huge tome very reminiscent of a ledger from a County Courthouse vault. The reprint can only receive one criticism: the print is too much reduced. The business Directory for Kellogg, Jasper County, lists:

        Brown, Adam W., hotel
        Hollingsworth, E.E., saloon and fancy groceries.

In the Newton section:
        Morgan, W. J., Furniture, (Manufacturer and Dealer), Undertaker.
        Miller, Fred P., Grain, Lumber, Salt, Lime, Cement.

Adam W. Brown was the brother-in-law of Frederick Hollingsworth, half brother of his wife Elizabeth Brown, and half uncle to Edward Earl Hollingsworth above. W. J. Morgan was the undertaker who buried Frederick Hollingsworth on 8 Feb 1869 - but where? Fred P. Miller was the lumber dealer who sold Frederick the 5,000 feet of lumber to build his house.* That was in 1868. Hollingsworth died without paying. You can read all about it in HR June, 1978 pages 26-34. On Page 531 of the Atlas, in the Patrons' Directory, more is given:

                                           *Successor or heir of D. T.
NEWTON:                                     Miller. Not proved yet - Ed.

Fred P. Miller - Dealer in grain, lumber, wood and agricultural
                 implements; born York Co., Pa.; came to state 
                 of Iowa in 1845.

W. J. Morgan   - Furniture dealer, Upholsterer & Undertaker,
                 born Oneida Co., N.Y., came to Iowa in l864.

In our issue of Dec. 1980, at p. 65 we hashed this over. Now we present this blurb. The mention of W. J. Morgan, undertaker of Newton, Iowa, brings to mind our visit to that city in 1978. Upon speaking with the Clerks in the Recorder's Office, we went to the City Hall and examined there the burial entry book for Newton Union Cemetery. It was very sad to note that their index book and burial books begin in 1889, 20 years too late for Frederick. Phyllis Franzen said that the first book was burned! We then visited the Reese Funeral Home on North 3rd Avenue East who had the old record book which belonged to the W. J. Morgan Undertakers, but the "earlier book was lost" the one I examined
