  • Notes 
    • John Bandy and his wife, Mary (Vannice) Bandy, came to Des Moines County in 1838 and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by his son E. W. Bandy. He was one of the pioneers who brought the influence of a Christian life with him, and that influence is still felt for good in this community. He raised a large family, all of whom are known to our people, though be two of them still reside here.
      William B. went to Minnesota at an early day, served in the Fourth Minnesota infantry during the war, and died in 1892.
      Isaac married Lucy Middleton, went to Minnesota and lived some years, but came back, and died in Kossuth in 1884. His sons, Minor and Owen and a daughter, Eva, wife of James McKeown, still live here. Minor was a soldier in a Minnesota regiment.
      John married Julia Stathem and lives in Council Bluffs. He served in the Second Iowa Cavalry.
      Samuel G. first married Miss Lucinda F. Johnson, who died in 1884, leaving three sons, now grown to manhood. In 1886 he married Miss Virginia Barr, and now lives in Kossuth. Rachel, wife of S. A. Hall of Santa Cruz, California. Thomas married Elizabeth Ware and lives in Brookings County, North Dakota. Peter married Nancy Dooley and lives in Missouri.
      Jacob F. served through the war as captain of company K, Second Iowa Cavalry. He died at Memphis, Tennessee in 1878. His widow now lives at Fairfield, Iowa.
      Lee A, wife of L. B. Pierce, lives at Winfield.
      Elijah W. married Elizabeth Frame in 1873; served three years in the Second Iowa cavalry, and is now a permanent resident of the township.
      Catherine, wife of Isaiah Messenger, lives at Fairfield, Iowa.
      Thus we find the four sons and one grandson of this old patriarch served in the army during the war. He himself was a soldier in the war of 1812. He died in 1873, aged seventy-nine years. His wife died in 1881.
