A
Record of the Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints Organized on the 16th of April
1848
Coonville, Pottawattamie County,
Iowa

- This record was taken from the vertical file material on
churches, located in the Glenwood, Mills County, Iowa Public
Library, and was printed in the Mills County Genealogical
Society quarterly newsletter of October, November and December,
1998. Below is a copy from the Historian's Office of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recorded September 6,
1907. Many of those on the Members List went on to Utah with
the Mormons on their trek west. Some stayed in the southwestern
Iowa area, particularly in Pottawattamie, Mills and Fremont
Counties. Some went to Utah and returned to Mills County. In
1848 when the town of Glenwood (then called Coonville) was
settled by Mormons, the area was still in Pottawattamie county
as Mills county was not formed until 1851.
