News article [probably from the Hawk Eye] 1896.
Orange blossoms.
Thursday afternoon a party living two miles north of Kingston drove into the city and proceeded direct to the county clerk’s office.
“Square.” said one of the party, names Fred Riemann, “we’ve come here t’ get hitched up, me and Ida Hinson. This is her maw an’ sister and the boy is a friend of mine named Rice.”
If there is anything that pleases Clerk Lange, it is a wedding, and he bestirred himself to make the occasion one of comfort, joy and happiness to the members of the party.
While the license was being drawn up in due form, the prospective groom, a medium sized thin faced young man of twenty-five, with hair long enough to braid, recited his family history to the entertainment of the fast gathering crowd.
Max Hirsch was present and gallantly offered to hunt up a knot-splicer. He went out and soon returned with ‘Squire Riepe. While Hirsch was absent the bride, in the most innocent manner, stood out in the rotunda and combed her bangs. Just as the Squire came up the stairs, the bride’s mother carefully and reverently unwound several fathoms of store twine from a band-box and took therefrom a wreath of artificial orange blossoms and a white veil which were fastened to the bride’s hair. Then bunches of white flowers were attached to the groom’s coat, they lined up and the ceremony began.
As soon as the ceremony was concluded the wreath, veil and bunches of blowers were removed from bride and groom and reverently replaced in the band box, which the bride’s mother again took under her protection and the procession, led by Max Hirsch and the groom, started for ‘Squire Riepe’s office where a beautiful marriage certificate, with a green border and an intricate net-work of yellow and blue lilies crowned by a picture of a wedding party, was filled out and signed.
“We’ve got fourteen miles of muddy roads before we get back t’ the farm, but durn me if I’m a carin’ if it was two miles or two hundred,” said the groom as he gazed affectionately at his wife.
Riemann set up the cigars to the crowd, paid the ‘squire two plunks and he and his bride, followed by the other entirely satisfied and happy members of the party, started out to wind the team.

Born June 13, 1924, in Burlington, he was the son of Carl Edward and Edna C. Robbins Voelker. He married Geraldine Wunnenberg in 1950; they divorced in 1975. He married Marjorie Gahn, January 2, 1978, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For those who knew Jack, his lifelong passions were his love of life, his family, flying, the Mississippi River and the town of Burlington.

Following graduation from Burlington High School in 1942, Jack enlisted in the Army Air Force and completed flight training in Texas and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1943. He completed advanced single-engine training in 1944. His initial training was as a fighter pilot and was assigned duties flying Bell P-39s. He was shortly reassigned duties as a flight instructor at Waco AAF, Texas. We continued to instruct new cadets until late 1944 when he was reassigned to multi-engine training. Following this he checked out as an aircraft commander in the Consolidated B-24 and was assigned duty with the 380th Bomb Group (heavy) - 531st Squadron. He flew bomb missions from Okinawa, targeting Japan. Following the surrender, he remained in Japan for several months flying as a courier pilot.

Jack remained in the Air Force reserve and was recalled to active duty in late 1950. He was stationed at March AFB, California and Lake Charles AFB, Louisiana. In 1952 he volunteered for service in Korea. He became a Forward Air Controller with the 6147th Tactical Control Group. Following Korea he was stationed at Mather AFB, California, Otis AFB, Massachusetts, Chanute AFB, Illinois, Evreux AFB, France and Lowry AFB, Colorado. He retired from the Air Force on March 1, 1968. His total time in service was 25 1/2 years (20 1/2 years active) and he retired at the rank of Lt. Colonel.

Following retirement from the Air Force, Jack returned to Burlington and worked for Remmers-Tomkins flight service as an instructor and charter pilot. In 1969 he set up the flight department for Winegard Antenna Company and remained as chief pilot until his retirement in 1988.

His return to Burlington afforded him the opportunity to enjoy his boyhood love, the Mississippi River. He owned a number of boats. He loved taking people out on the river and telling them about the river, its history and how it had changed since his boyhood.

After approximately 44 years of flying he had accumulated more than 25,000 hours of flight time and had flown over a hundred different types of aircraft (military and civilian). He completed over 110 combat missions. His decorations include; the Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal, Air Force and Army Commendation Medal, and numerous other medals, ribbons and citations.

Survivors include his wife, Marjorie of Burlington; one daughter, Christine Tipin (Curtin) of Boise, ID.; one son, Craig Voelker (Kerry) of Mt. Pleasant, IA.; two stepdaughters, Karen Glasgow (Terry) of Burlington, and Kristine Niehause (Steve) of Peachtree City, GA.; three stepsons, Kyle Gahn of Burlington, Craig Gahn of Cantril, IA, and David Gahn (Susan) of Minneapolis, MN; eight grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; two sisters, Donna Lavine and Marion MacDonald both of Burlington and three nieces.

Malchow, John (I144)
 
677 John Malchow.
John Malchow, a highly respected and honored citizen of Huron township, came to American over fifty years ago, and by his honest, industrious labor has accumulated some of the material things that tend to add ease and comfort in his old age.
He is a son of Joseph and Dora (Frazee) Malchow, and was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, April 26, 1826. After attending the common schools in his native home, he spent his early boyhood on his father’s farm. In 1853 he came to American by way of New York, and settle in Laporte, Laporte county, Ind. Here he commenced his work in his adopted home as a laborer on a farm, which continued for a year and eight months. About his time he moved to the city of Laporte, and embarked in the railroad business, first acting as brakeman on the Lake Shore & Northern Indiana Railroad. Four years thus employed convinced him of the fact that he preferred the life of a farmer, and he accordingly purchased forty acres of farm land in Laport county, Indiana, where he farmed for some four years, until the war broke out in 1861, when he moved again to the city, and hired a substitute to take his place. After remaining in the city for four years, he went back to his first love, his farm in the country, where he stayed two years, and then sold it.
After a year’s residence on another place, he decided he would try his fortune in the West, and at once moved to Burlington, Iowa, where he began to work as a laborer for the Foote Woolen Mills. At the end of two years he once more realized that fact that he was cut out for a farmer, and took up his abode a mile south of Dodgeville, and was so successful in his farming operations as to be able to purchase eighty acres of good farm land in Benton township. This he cleared and greatly improved, and called home for fifteen years, each year adding more to it, till he had one hundred and eighty acres. He enlarged his possessions by buying three hundred and forty acres of land in the following townships: Two hundred and forty acres in Section 36, in Huron township, and fifty-six acres in Benton and Jackson townships, on which he built a large teen-room house, one barn thirty by forty feet, and another forty by twenty-six feet, also corn-cribs and cattle-sheds, thus improving his place in general, and giving it an entirely different appearance from that which it presented when he bought it. Mr. Malcow kept about fifty head of cattle, seventy-five head of hog, and raised a few Clyde horse, besides carrying on general farming.
During these prosperous years in American Mr. Malchow has been assisted by a faithful and devoted wife, since Jan.12, 1854, until March 13, 1904, when death claimed her, and left a void in the home. Mrs. Malchow’s maiden name was Mary E. Buhle, and was a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Buhle, both natives of Germany, where both lived and died. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Malchow three children were born: John Henry, born March 26, 1855 died at the age of fourteen years and is buried in Aspen Grove cemetery in Burlington, Iowa; Charles, born March, 1857, and passed away when two years of age; Louis Henry, born Jan. 30, 1864, married Miss Mary E. Wunnenberg, daughter of Henry and Emily Wunnenberg, born in Benton township, May 25, 1864, and they are parents of three children: Viola Leanor Vena, born Jan. 29, 1896; John Piermont, born June 20, 1898; and Louis Ivan, born July 25, 1901.
Mr. and Mrs. Malchow live at the home place with his father. They are members of the German Lutheran church. By the upright course in life which Mr. Malcow has ever chosen, he has made many friends, and is held in the highest esteem in the county.
