Chronicle of families who came to the Kirkman area of Shelby County, Iowa in the 1850's, 1860's, and 1870's as told through their biographies, many century-old photographs, and the personal memoirs and correspondence of the subjects and their descendants. This Second Edition has been rewritten and expanded from first publication in March, 2004 with contributions from many Barber and Lacey descendants.

This is the history of two Barber families in the years 1880 - 1950. Although they lived similar lives in Jerauld County society, politics, and agri-commerce, they were unrelated. One Barber clan emigrated from Ontario, Canada to homestead west of Wessington Springs. Descendants are still on the land. The other came from Pennsylvania through Iowa and settled around Lane. This book, by two direct descendants, details the lives of these families with memoirs, anecdotes, photographs, lineage charts, and news clippings to tell their stories.To purchase a copy, click on "Buy as Paperback book" Family surnames documented: Barber, Baumer, Bickford, Doughton, Feay, Fenton, Gaffin, Harris, Hensley, King, Kuiken, Lacey, Maize, Meink, Miller, Mulliner, Nelson, Noltensmeier, Oerlline, Peterson, Sabin, Scandrett, Schroeder, Teeslink, Vercellino, and many others.
