Iowans Picnic in California 1924 Postville area attendees |
Southern California is populated largely with former Iowans, and from the following list it would seem that most of them were from Postville. Sixty thousand former Hawkeye residents attended the Iowans picnic in California on Washington's birthday, and the following is a list of those present from Postville:

~transcriber note: Because my gg-grandfather, G.W. Harris, is on this list I know that some named may have been visiting when they attended the picnic, and did not live in California. Researchers should confirm the residence of picnic attendees before assuming that if they appear on this list, they had actually moved to California.
