    Schowalter, Keokuk. -- Edward Henry, Sohn von Prediger Christian und Rosina Schowalter, war geboren 27. Oktober 1861 in der Nähe von Donnellson; Lee Co., Iowa. Im Alter von 15 Jahren wurde er auf sein Bekenntnis getauft und in die Zionsgemeinde bei Donnellson aufgenommen, deren treues Glied er bis zu seinem Tode blieb. Er graduierte von der Denmark Akademie von Denmark,

Später ging er nach Halstead, Kansas, wo er im Sommer die Gemeindeschule deutsch und im Winter englisch lehrte. Am 25. Dezember verehelichte er sich mit Elise Koehn. Diese Ehe war mit 5 Kindern gesegnet, von denen 4 noch am Leben sind, eins starb Klein.

    In 1889 lehrte er die Indianerschule auf der Farm vom Aeltesten Christian Krehbiel. Dann bekam er einen Ruf von seiner Heimatgemeinde, ihre Gemeindeschule zu lehren. Diese Schule hatte bisher sein Vater Christian Schowalter viele Jahre gelehrt. Er nahm 1890 diesen Ruf an und zog in die Nähe von Donnellson. Eine Reihe von Jahren lehrte er die Schule im sommer deutsch und im Winter englisch. 1901 gab er das Lehren auf, um Farmer zu werden. Im Jahre 1919 zog er nach Keokuk, Iowa, wo er bis zu seinem Tode lebte.

    Am 24. Dezember 1928 erkrankte er an Influenza und Lungenentzündung und starb am 14 März 1929, im Alter von 67 Jahren. Er hinterläßt seine liebe Frau und 4 Kinder, eine Schwester, 3 Brüder und viele andere Verwandte und Freunde. Er war viele Jahre Lehrer und Superintendent der Sonntagschule, Vorsteher und Schreiber der Gemeinde. Die Leichenfeier fand statt von seinem Heim in Keokuk unter der Leitung von seinem Seelsorger Br.

    Bisping von Keokuk. Seine Leiche wird im Gewölbe aufbewahrt, bis die Wege besser werden, dann wird das Begräbnis auf dem Kirchhofe in Donnellson sein.

    Miller crowned Lee County fair Queen; Krebill honored for 42 years of volunteer service

    Nick Mueller/Daily Democrat Intern

    A new queen took the throne in the grandstand at the Lee County Fair Thursday night.

    Melissa Miller, a Wever resident and 2001 graduate of Fort Madison High School, was crowned in front of a large crowd in between sessions of the Bill Riley Talent Show. Tara Wellman, the reigning Lee County Fair Queen, presented Miller with the crown.

    Miller shared the honors Thursday night with the first and second runners-up, who were, respectively, Wendy Walljasper and Jessica Krogmeier. Bridget Dunlay was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow candidates.

    Before Miller was crowned queen, a member of the Lee County Fair board was honored in the grandstands; but it was not just any member. After 42 years of service to the Lee County Community, and everyone who enjoys the Lee County Fair year in and year out, Dwight Krebill was given his due this Thursday night during the Grandstand events. The Lee County Fair Board, who feels wholeheartedly indebted to Krebill for all of his services over these past 42 years, presented the board veteran with a gold watch.

    Though a gold watch is certainly nothing to scoff at, the gift that the board really wanted to give to Krebill was not really a material one, but one of recognition, and a public outpouring of appreciation. When someone serves on the board of something like the Lee County Fair, the decisions and contributions that they make are enjoyed and felt by hundreds of
    people, literally everyone attending the fair, in some cases.

    That is what Thursday evening's ceremony was all about. Krebill has seen the Lee County Fair through the thick and the thin, along each and every step of the way, since 1958. That's no small achievement, and the board, along with the entire community as a whole, showed its thanks this Thursday night.

    Brenda Mohrfeld, current member of the Lee County Fair board, sang Krebill's praises at Thursday's ceremonies. "We just can't thank Dwight enough, because not only was he always pitching in, but he was also our resident historian. We can always go to him for wisdom. We just wanted, along with the public, to acknowledge just how hard he has worked and how
    selflessly he's contributed over all these years.

    Recently, Krebill has taken the time to both honor his loved ones, and to help out the area, as memorials for his relatives are being used for different reasons. One, for his wife Mildred, was designated for the Art Hall. Given that, the money was used to landscape all around the building. This project is still in progress. In addition, Krebill set up a scholarship in the memory of his son, Doug, which goes to benefit area ag students.

    In addition to all of the hoopla surrounding the crowning of Miller as queen and the honoring of Krebill, spectators were also presented with all sorts of amazingly fantabulous abilities, during the Bill Riley Talent Show. Acts of all sorts were presented, from tap-style dancing, to solo singing. The show was divided into two categories, one for "sprouts" or
    youngsters, and a senior division. All of the acts performed were terrifitastic.
