GLENWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY OPENED ON FEBRUARY 4, 1907 ON NORTH VINE
STREET
There was music, eloquence and social good cheer at the opening
of the beautiful Carnegie Library in Glenwood last night.
Preceding the formal program the State Institution orchestra
rendered several very pleasing selections, then with Mrs. J. L. Bellatti acting
as master of ceremonies various speeches of acceptance were given and its
formative years reviewed.
Mrs. W. F. Hill, the president of the Woman's Club, told of the
struggles that led up to the completion of the building. She said that ever
since the founding of the Club 13 years ago the abiding purpose of the
organization was to give Glenwood a free public library. Now that this had been
accomplished, their purpose would be turned to some other worthy object.
In behalf of the Women's Club Mrs. Hill then turned over to the
City the books and magazines which they had succeeded in collecting during the
past 11 years.
Mayor W. M. Plimpton on behalf of the city, accepted the
generous gift, and he was followed by speeches by General John Y. Stone and
Judge W. R. Green.
This public library for Glenwood is the direct result of the
plans and endeavors of the Glenwood Woman's Club, and a detailed sketch of its
growth would be a take of devotion to a purpose by these generous minded and
public spirited women.
They started the library and opened it to the public about
eleven years ago, and since then have made its support and care a part of their
regular annual club work.
In 1903 it was suggested that Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy steel
mill man of Pennsylvania, might be induced to give us a library building, and
upon this suggestion, Dr. F. M. Powell, superintendent of the State
Institution, wrote to Mr. Carnegie.
Mr. Carnegie's gift to the city was $7,000 for a building, for
which Glenwood was to raise $700 yearly for support.
A library board was appointed with Mrs. Bellatti, president;
Mrs. E. S. Bogart [Elizabeth Buffington], vice president; Mrs. W. F. Hill,
Sec.; and H. A. French, Treas.; H. S. Fleming, Dr. J. M. Donelan, J. E.
Wickman, C. T. Genung and O. H. Marsh.
The actual supervision of the building operations was placed in
the hands of a committee of three - Dr. J. M. Donelan, H. S. Fleming, and C. T.
Genung, and their watchfulness is reflected in the excellence of the completed
building which now houses the Glenwood Library.
Dr. Donelan was a stalwart supporter of the library - cheering
and encouraging the ladies when obstacles seemed insurmountable, assuring them
of its final success, giving them confidence in their own strength when they
themselves were inclined to doubt it, and lending his time, his efforts, and
his influence when needed to further the library movement. There were times
even up to the moment of beginning the actual work, when some of the professed
friends of the library were tempted to yield to the opposition and let things
go by default. Dr. Donelan was not one of these. He was persistent, tactful and
ever confident.
The workmanship on the building was done entirely by Glenwood
firms with William S. Doan doing the carpenter work, Thos. H. Hall the brick
work, the painting by Frank Deerwester, with the stone being furnished by the
Glenwood Granite Works, furnace by Daniel Bros., plumbing by Brower Bros.,
electrical fixtures by the Glenwood Electric Light Company and Mr. L. S.
Robinson donated a large clock.
The efforts of the Glenwood Woman's club has served the
community well. This building is but a small result of their efforts - the
intangible reward is in the better lives that have found culture in the library
shelves.

Williams Carter as cited by 1901 History of Fremont and Mills Counties,
Chicago: Lewis Publishing Company, 1901,
transcribed by Cay Merryman.
CARTER, JAMES W.
The true western spirit of enterprise and progress is
exemplified in the life of James W. Carter, one of the most active,
enterprising and successful agriculturists of Mills county. He was born in this
county in 1861 and is a representative of one of the old families of Tennessee.
His father, John Carter, was a native of that state and in 1852 came to Mills
county, Iowa, by the way of Missouri. In Glenwood he married Miss Margaret
Williams, whose people were from Indiana. On both sides they were representatives
of the agricultural interests. At the time of the Civil war John Carter
responded to his country's call for aid, enlisting at Glenwood as a member of
Company B, Twenty-ninth Iowa Infantry. The eldest brother of James W., Stephen
A. Carter, was also a Union soldier, and Mr. Williams, the maternal grandfather
of our subject, was one of the heroes of the Revolutionary war. The brothers
and sisters of J. W. Carter were as follows: Stephen and E. Benjamin, who are
living in Kansas; David A., a resident of Whiting, Iowa; Mrs. Patromilla
Mickelwait, of Ord, Nebraska; Mrs. Mary Puffer, of California; Mrs. Sarah
Anderson of Macon, Illinois; Mrs. Kate Noah and Mrs. Jane McCammon, both of
Kansas.
James W. Carter has spent his entire life in Mills county. In
his youth he was accorded excellent educational privileges, attending the
graded and high schools in Glenwood, the normal school at Peru, Nebraska, and
the Omaha Commercial College. After putting aside his text-books he engaged in
teaching school at Weeping Water, Nebraska, and his scholarship is indicated by
the fact that he holds a state certificate. He was successful as an educator,
but abandoned that work in order to engage in commercial interests in Glenwood.
There he engaged in business until 1897, when he removed to his present farm,
which is pleasantly located near Hillsdale. It is one of the most attractive
and desirable country seats in the state. The residence is a large, spacious
and costly one, with fine interior and exterior furnishings, for the furnishings
are modern and tasteful. There is a telephone connection with the city and
numerous other modern conveniences and requisites equal to any city home. The
farm comprises three hundred and seventy acres of rich, arable land, much of
which is under a high state of cultivation, and Mr. Carter is extensively
engaged in the breeding of fine stock. He feeds all of his grain and in his
meadows are found some splendid specimens of cattle, horses and hogs.
He married Miss Emma Buffington, a daughter of B. F. Buffington,
an old and honored citizen of the county, who came to Iowa from Ohio. Her
mother bore the maiden name of Nancy Ayers and her ancestors were residents of
New Jersey. The families which Mrs. Carter represents were loyal to the
colonies during the war of the Revolution and furnished some of their members
to aid in establishing the independence of the nation. Mr. and Mrs. Buffington
were married in Ohio and they became the parents of four children: Mrs. Carter;
Mrs. Lizzie Bogard [Bogart], who is living in Glenwood; Mrs. Mary Craven, who
resides in Seattle, Washington; and Charles, who makes his home in Glenwood.
The marriage of our subject and his wife has been blessed with two interesting
little sons, Clarence B. and Edwin Ayers, aged respectively six and three
years.
Since casting his first presidential vote for James A. Garfield,
Mr. Carter has supported the men and measures of the Republican party. For four
years he filled the office of city recorder of Glenwood and for one term was
alderman from the first ward there. He is at present a township trustee of
Center township, and his public service has won for him high commendation, as
he is a capable and reliable officer. He and his wife hold membership in the
Methodist church and take an active interest in its work and upbuilding. Their
home is noted for its gracious hospitality, which is enjoyed by a very large
circle of friends. Mr. Carter is an enterprising business man whose diligence,
keen discrimination and capable management have enabled him to advance steadily
on the high road to prosperity.
They had the following children:
