EARLY HISTORICAL PLACES

Last but not least the settlement of Montrose. The landing in 1673 of Marquette and Joliet with a party of five voyagers, on the west bank of the Mississippi River between the parallels marking 40 and 41 degrees of latitude. Evidently marks the place where Montrose now stands. A permanent settlement was not made however until 1799. The first name given to the settlement was Sac Village. Later it was called Cut Nose Village. When the barracks was built it was called Ft. Des Moines. After the troops were removed and the fort abandoned, a man by the name of S.W. KILBOURNE, laid out the town and named it Montrose. Written for the Civic Club.

DAM CELEBRATION

August 5th is the date chosen for the celebration of the completion of the Water Power Development at Keokuk. This important event has been officially designated the Tri-State Power Zone Celebration.

HISTORY AND FUTURE OF BLUFF PARK

In the year eighteen-hundred and thirty-nine, a patent was procured by Thomas A. REDDICK for the Montrose Reservations, a tract of land one mile square. The part of this land which afterwards received the name of Bluff Park which was recorded as outlots one, two and three consisted of seventeen acres, and lies in the town of Montrose, in Lee County, Iowa. No record of a will of Thomas A. REDDICK was available so Walter J. REDDICK was given the authority to convey all his property and transact all his business.

In the year 1854, the delightful town of Montrose was platted by Virginia C. BROOKS and Edward BROOKS, her husband, Francis E. BILLON. This land was sold to C. F.DAVIS in the year 1883 for the taxes.

In November 1883, C. F.DAVIS and wife conveyed outlots, one and two to the Mississippi Rapids Bluff Park Association, with the exceptions of right of way for roads including the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. It is probable that this association obtained a deed to the remainder called outlot three, but if it were so, no records of it has been made. This association was composed of members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in their hands this park with its historical and scenic surroundings first took on the delightful character it has since retained as the home of cultured and refined men and women, who know the good things of life and how to get the most out of them.

These people purchased this place with the purpose of conducting camp meetings on a plan similar to those of the present day Chatauqua. Meetings held had excellent programes, very talented people participated in them. They first were held in tents, but a tabernacle was erected with a seating capacity between two and three thousand. Cottages were erected by the association and some few individual parties, who purchased lots. Tents were still used as the supply of cottages was not sufficient.

An important feature of the Park is the artesian well 1800 feet deep which was sunk some time previous to the opening of the camp meetings. When this vein of water was struck, a fountain twenty feet high.

Transportation facilities were excellent. A railway station stood at the foot of the Bluff, where all trains stopped. Boats also landed at this time.

One gained admission to the Park only through a gate at the foot of the hill, where an admission fee was charged: season tickets $1.50 or ten cents for single. After being admitted, the ascent was either by steps which were illuminated at night by gasoline lights, the lights also being stationed at appropriate places over the grounds, and a natural roadway which wound gracefully around the hill.

Had tennis courts, baseball grounds and a swimming pool. The original seventeen acres was considered as consecrated ground, so no games of any kind could be carried on there. They purchased 30 acres contained in the “Half Breed Tract” lies partly south of the small ravine which is about in the central part of the grounds at present.

Sam JONES was to make an address on a certain day. He did not show and the greatest crowd ever was disappointed and did not get their money back. This caused the crowds to gradually decline. Another cause for decline was funds to get good programmes. They mortgaged portions of the land at various times, until the grounds entered the hands of William BLOOM and C.A. GREGG, trustees of the association.

In 1895, Bluff Park was transferred to these two men. It became a quiet summer home.

On the death of William BLOOM, his share went to his heirs, which they soon sold to C.A. GREGG in 1899, who owned it until 1908. Few events of interest took place during the time and the Bluff became quite desolate.

In May 1908, William STEWART purchased the Bluff, but in June the same year he sold to J.A. WHITAKER. In his hands the Park took on a new life. Many of the old buildings were torn down including the tabernacle, while the others were remodeled, the lodging house being converted into a dancing pavilion. The hilltops were platted into convenient villa sites and a great number of lots were sold. At some time, the exact date unknown, more additional land was purchased until Bluff Park (this part gone)

Many cottages, in keeping with the simplicity of the place, deck the grounds. Some are owned by Mr. WHITAKER, which rent from twenty to one hundred dollars per month, while others are owned by individual parties who reside in near-by cities, but make the Park their summer home.

This is continued on page three but I could not find page three. There is much more to the article. I took what I thought would be of most interest.
