It i about the early residents of the town of Williamsburg, the title is "RECOLLECTIONS OF MRS BRIGHAM" I received your letter today, requesting me to write you a let- publication, telling of my life's work, so I will begin at the first. I am the daughter of John H. and Annie N. Remley.

I was born near Jacksonville, Alabama, August 19, 1835, moved from Alabama to West Virginia in 1840, and from West Virginia to Iowa in 1854. I came to Williamsburg in June, 1855, and spent our first night with Mr. and Mrs. Homer C. Page.

My father bought a lot from Mr. Williams, for which he paid $25. This lot was the half- block on which the Dr. A. C.

Moon, W. G. Fletcher and Mrs. Kitchen homts now stand. As he was an expert carpenter, he and my brother, Calvin, soon had a comfortable house for us to move into.

MRS. MARY ELICK PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF EIGHTY SIX E. EHck, daughter of Nancy and Jolih Elick was born in Austria, February 15, 1870 and departed this life at her home in North English, Iowa at the age of 86 years, 6 months and 28 days. She came with her father and mother and one brother to the United States in 1874 and settled, in Johnson County, Iowa, where they lived for 11 years. They moved to Pilot township in Iowa County where she was united in marriage to William H.

Lacy in 1888. To this union were born seven children. on You Identify This Mystery Farm The town of Williamsburg was a small place then, there being only six houses, Mr. H. C.

Page and family, Mr. Richard -Williams and family and Mr. William Long and family, Rev. Mr. Jennice and family, Mr.

William Rowland and family and L. Stone and famiy. Mrs. Wiliam Long taught the first school in a small board shanty but the people soon began to come in and buy lots, and it was a prosperous little village when Mr. Josiah Brigham and I were married, September 16, 1858.

Our wedding was the first wedding in My father's brother, Rev. James Rem- a Baptist minister, married us, and Mr. Brigham had a nice home to take me to, the place now owned by Mr. D. Boyd.

We lived there 36 years, then Mr. Brigham's health failed, and we sold out and moved Nebraska. There we bought a beautiful, well improved farm with an abundance of fruit. His health improved the first five years. Then he began to fail and in 1881 we moved to Colorado, and bought a 160 acres unimproved farm and built a real comfortable frame house." Mary V.
