The Birthplace of 4H - Orphan Train Story

The historic Goldenrod Schoolhouse in Clarinda, Iowa.

“The Goldenrod Schoolhouse is a historic building located in Clarinda, Iowa, United States. The 23-by-33-foot (7.0 by 10.1 m) one-room school was built in Fremont Township, northern Page County, in 1873. Jessie Field taught in the school at the turn of the 20th century. She initiated a school program here in March 1901 that eventually developed into the 4-H organization. The building served as part of the Page County rural school system until 1960. It was slated for demolition when it was saved and moved to the Page County Fairgrounds in Clarinda in 1965. It was near to the place that Jessie Field had held the first Boys Farm Camp and Camp of the Golden Maids in 1910 and 1911. The former school building was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

The land the old schoolhouse was located on was quite low and flooding and drainage had become a problem. Changes in the city's water system would have affected the area. The Nodaway Valley Historical Society had created a museum with a display of rural schools and the beginnings of 4-H near the fairgrounds. The Goldenrod Schoolhouse was moved to the museum in January 1993. Because of the move it was removed from the National Register in August 1993, and it was returned again the following year.”


THE PAGE COUNTY ORPHAN TRAIN STORY

“The greatest children’s migration in the history of the United States took place during the seventy-five years from 1854-1929. Orphan and impoverished children were transported from the overcrowded eastern cities to the vast midwestern farmlands. A young minister named Charles Loring Brace and the Children’s Aid Society of New York City pioneered the “placing out movement” which sought to place deserving, healthy orphans into nurturing farm homes. There they would be welcomed and given a good upbringing in a proper moral setting. The Society specified that the children were to be housed, fed, clothed, educated and given religious training. Clarinda and dozens of other Iowa towns shared dramatically in these remarkable events which became known as the “Orphan Trains.” Nearly 10,000 children found new homes in Iowa before the Depression and changing laws ended the migration.

Very little is known about the first Society placing out in this area. Willie “The Kid” Moran arrived in Clarinda in March of 1881. The 12 year old was placed with G.A. Miller where he worked on the farm for several years. Willie left the farm to travel in the far west, returning in 1897. Tragically, Willie spent the next seven years here in the State Hospital. His later life is unknown.

Sarah Hunt, (1894-1990) an Orphan Train Rider to Sidney, IA, in 1904, became the wife of Hal Maxwell and stepmother of Hollywood Actress Marilyn Maxwell. She was a Western Union Telegrapher in Clarinda for nineteen years.

An orphan train from the Children’s Aid Society came to Clarinda December 15, 1922 with a precious cargo of twelve sleepy children led by Miss Clara Comstock, the Society’s Agent for the state of Iowa. The Clarinda Herald reported that at the appointed time the children were taken to the Methodist Church to be introduced to an eager crowd. One little boy, asked why he came said “To find a momma.” Arthur Fields “was bundled up tightly to go to a home north of Clarinda,” to the Worley Smith home on North Twelfth Street where he found a new brother, Cecil, and was later adopted.

The Colowski brothers were fortunate to find homes. Alexander (1916-1988) was adopted into the Harry Douthit family and was called Alexander Douthit. Walter (1918-1950) was adopted by the Roy Beavers family. He was called Harold R. Beavers, became an army captain and was killed in Korea.

The placements of some of the other children were temporary and little is known about them:
Howard Blizzard (6) and Ethel Blizzard (12) went to the Armstrong home near Blanchard.
Byron Stevens to the Schoonover’s near Clearfield. Mary and Anna Brodie to the Hoyt home in Clarinda. James Leroy Smith to the Scroggs home in Clarinda. Carrie Adams to Roy Baker’s home west of Clarinda. Isabel and Harry Adams to the Swanson home east of Stanton.

In 1987 Mary Ellen Johnson, established the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America, Inc., to gather and preserve the stories of orphan train riders nationwide. The Society is located at: 614 E. Emma Ave., Suite 115 Springdale, AR 72764-4634

Presented as a memorial to the memory of these orphan train riders.”

Missouri Towns: Clearmont, Hopkins, and Pickering

A visit to three Missouri towns!

CLEARMONT

“Clearmont is a city in Nodaway County, Missouri, United States. The population was 170 at the 2010 census.

Clearmont was laid out in 1857. Some say the community was named after nearby Clear Creek, while others believe the name is a transfer from Clermont, Indiana. A post office called Clearmont has been in operation since 1881.”


HOPKINS

“Hopkins is a city in Nodaway County, Missouri, United States. The population was 532 at the 2010 Census.

Hopkins was laid out in 1870. The community has the name of A.L. Hopkins of the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad. The railroad later became the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and finally the Burlington Northern before tracks were remove in 1983. A post office called Hopkins has been in operation since 1871.

Occult writer Grant Wallace was born in Hopkins in 1867.

The Hopkins Tornado of 1881 is believed to have been one of the first recorded F5 tornadoes.

On Sunday afternoon November 16, 1952, Hopkins was struck by a tornado which greatly damaged the downtown business district. Mary Jane Truman, sister of Harry S Truman and appeared in the community almost to the day a year earlier. She contacted her brother who was on a yacht. Hopkins was the first town in the United States of under 1,000 people to receive federal disaster relief. The government sent the community $10,000 which was put under the administration of Wren Peve, a local businessman. Mr. Peve kept accurate track of the spending and when all the needs were met it was found that there was a surplus. Peve then wrote a check and sent that surplus back to Washington. The cleanup was under the direction of Landon Wallace; the local Ford salesman and also the Hopkins Fire Chief. During the three weeks of cleanup, most of the second floors of the downtown buildings were removed by his order.

In the first half the 20th century Ranch del Rayo which was at least 3,900 acres claimed to be the biggest hereford ranch in the state of Missouri.

In September, 1933, the Missouri Highway Patrol cornered and killed Harold B. Thornbrugh a Kansas outlaw, who at the time was living in New Market, Iowa. Thornbrugh was wanted for bank and postal robbery, the murder of Omaha Police Officer Otto Peterson and the attempted murder of Frankin County, Kansas Sheriff William Wantland. The day Harold Thornbrugh was killed in Hopkins, his brother Cecil stood before Judge Hopkins in Topeka, Kansas on the same charges pending against Harold. One officer was seriously wounded in the head during the brief gun battle.

During World War II Hopkins a town of less than 1,000 at the time lost fourteen men. This included two brothers Charles and George Russell who died in April, 1945 within twenty-four hours of each other. Charles drowned in the Pacific and George was accidentally shot in Germany while guarding prisoners of war. Carl Melvin went down with the USS Indianapolis, and Charles Pistole was killed at Tarawa while operating a landing craft. In other conflicts, Glenn Ulmer died in World War I, the American Legion Post is named in his honor and Gary Cross died in Vietnam. Hopkins suffered no deaths in Korea.

Hopkins was the final home of jockey Clive Dixon and his wife Betty June, who trained and owned the National Appaloosa Show Champion, Two-Eyed Sioux.

Each year the town celebrates the Hopkins Picnic the second weekend in July. This has been a yearly celebration since 1888.

The last electromechanical telephone switch in the U.S. was located in nearby North Hopkins, Iowa, served by the CO in Hopkins. This switch converted to digital on September 15, 1999.”


PICKERING

“Pickering is a city in Nodaway County, Missouri, United States. The population was 160 at the 2010 census.

Pickering was laid out in 1871. The community was named by Dr. Josiah Coleman for Pickering Clark, a railroad man. A post office called Pickering has been in operation since 1871.”
