Margaret Pollock Campbell

From Sailing Ships to 902 Elm Margaret Pollock Campbell

In 1975, Margaret Eliza Pollock Campbell created a narrative from her Pollock, Stoakes, Granger, Vantilberg, Yeoman, Beat, Nullion and Peddie family histories and local (Rolfe and Traer, Iowa), state (Iowa) and national (Civil War, presidential elections) histories to make her family narrative told more personal for her family members. Any descendants of the mentioned family names will enjoy reading events unfold as told by family members. Eleazer Stoakes and Grant Pollock are Civil War veterans of this family and their stories are included. The history begins as ancestors arrive in America on sailing ships, and ends at the home where the author grew up- 902 Elm Street in Rolfe, Iowa. The narrative was typed and mimeographed- never published. This book publishes this work, along with photos that were literally pasted in the few books actually made.
