They were Latter Day Saints, who came from Maryland. Theycame to Council Bluffs in April, 1851, and came to Magnolia township in 1852, enteringland on section 33-80-43, which is still owned by the widow. He died in February, 1888.He and Judge CHATBURN operated the first saw and shingle mill in Harrison County,continuing for 16 years. He paid forty per cent interest for money with which to enter his land. PIONEER MILLS Judge Jonas CHATBURN and Stephen MAHONEY came to the township in 1853 andbuilt the pioneer mill in 1854. It was originally a sawmill and was propelled bythe waters of the Willow River. It was located on section 34. Although an Englishman, Mr.CHATBURN soon exhibited Yankee ingenuity. With his own hands having prepared a set ofburrs with which to grind corn, and having all complete to attach to the power of thesawmill, except the belting, raw cow-hide was cut into strips and the mill set to work. Onegrist was ground out and MAHONEY and CHATBURN went to supper, and while about the tablethey had ground the first corn ever ground in this part of Iowa. They also told bigstories as to how much they proposed to grind the following day. But how frequently aremen's hopes suddenly blasted. When they returned to the mill, lo, and behold, thewolves had been there and eaten up the raw-hide belts, leaving the corn mill detachedfrom the power. It was soon repaired, however, and this same mill ground the first meal,sawed the first plank, and rolled the first wool in Harrison County. This mill wasfinally abandoned and Mr. CHATBURN removed to Woodbine and engaged in milling.

Residence of Logan Iowa C. R.Balter Residence of Logan Iowa A. K. Grow MAHONEY FAMILY HISTORY Stephen Mahoney was born in Elkton Maryland February 13, 1809, anddied February 22, 1888. He remained in this locality until the month ofApril 1850 when in company with other emigrants, 130 in all, he with hisfamily of 11 children started for the west stopping at Council Bluffs,Iowa. His wife having died about 3 months before his journey west. OnApril 5, 1851 he married Martha Beaver, who was one of the aboveemigrants to leave Philadelphia enroute to Utah. They came to HarrisonCounty in Iowa from Council Bluffs in the spring of 1852 and homesteaded on a place just a mile eastof Magnolia Iowa, The oldest town in Harrison County. They built a log cabin 16 foot square and moved into their homebefore the puncheon floor was laid. They lived in this house with one attached to it until 1858 and theybuilt a frame house two stories high. Stephen Mahoney built a saw mill at this time which was the firstone to cut lumber in Harrison County. A large number of people gatheredto see the first slab which some of the men carried off as a relic.People said when this mill was started 'Now we can have some tables anddoors'. Prior to the saw mill being started, Stephen operated a smallgrist mill. It was propelled by water from Willow Creek, dammed up wherethe Elisha Mahoney place is now. Judge Jonas Chatburn was a partner for 16 years both in farming andmilling. Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Chatburn were very much attached to oneanother. After working all summer of year 1851 building dams, theirwork was all lost by high water, but they fixed it up again, but did notget ready to grind until about 1853. They kept house in their wagons andsaw hard times, returning home in the fall shaking with chills and fever. They borrowed money to hold their land, paying 45 % interest. JudgeChatburn dressed some prairie boulders from which he constructed a pairof mill stones upon which they ground corn meal and in the manufacture ofthe first flour in Harrison County. Mrs. Chatburn's veil was used asbolting cloth. Chatburn walked to Council Bluffs, the round trip making75 miles to get the first seed corn planted. He bought 1/2 bushel paying$1.50 for it and carried it home on his back wading through water kneedeep on the flats where Missouri Valley now stands. These two pioneerspossessed startling traits of character and who unaided laid the cornerstone of Harrison County. NOTE : According to later information, Martha Barrowclough marriedWilliam Beaver Ketcherman in England, and they separated before she cameto the United States. Stephen Mahoney's wife Martha died at the home of her son JohnMahoney at Alva, Wyoming at the age of 72 years. She was born inBarnsley, Yorkshire England April 11, 1828. In 1847 married WilliamBeaver, separated she came to America in 1848. Enroute with the groupfrom Philadelphia westward she became acquainted with Stephen Mahoney andmarried in the spring of 1851. They moved to Harrison County with 10children of Stephen's by his first wife. One infant died on the route .There they raised a family of six children, four sons and two daughters.Hiram, Benjamin, John, Elisha, Margaret and Sarah. Mrs. Stephen Mahoneywas a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in theearly days. Stephen Mahoney's first family --- Jeremiah Mahoney went to Utahabout 1860, Married May 17th to Ada Louisa Phippen, two children,Jeremiah W. born May 26th, 1864, Coalville Utah. Married Sarah Giles --four children. William, Stephen, Harriett and James came to Utah. William andJames families moved to Idaho. Stephen died in Utah. Harriett marriedChester Stanley and lived in Utah. Harriett died in 1901. Several ofHarriett's children live near and around the southern part of Idaho.Bert and Will Mahoney, sons of James Mahoney live there. Will is 78 andBert is 68. Martha Barraclough Beaver who married Stephen Mahoney was born April11, 1828 in Barnsley Yorkshire England, came to America in 1847.Remaining in Philadelphia until 1849, when she with others movedwestward. Stopping at Council Bluffs at that time called Kanesville.Died 16th of August 1900, buried at Alva Wyoming. John Thomas and Hiram Smith Mahoney came to the Centennial Valleyeast of Spearfish, South Dakota in 1876 and homesteaded. They madeseveral trips between the Black Hills and Iowa with ox teams, alsobrought 2 wagon loads of chickens out from Iowa. While there ran a sawmill and ranched until 1886. then sold out and moved to the Bear Lodgecountry of Wyoming, where they lived on ranches on Lame Jones Creek untiltheir death. Stephen Mahoney (Lowell Mahoney's dad) and his fatherstarted south with a herd of horses on July 5 1896, sold them along theway finished but dad wintered in Oklahoma and Texas. He went south asfar as the Rio Grande River and brought cattle back to Alva Oklahoma,then took the train home. I found that the name Mahoney originated in 1044. An Irish Lordthat lived on the western coast of Ireland assumed the name. He wasabout the 30th in direct decent from the King of Ireland in the secondcentury. I also found the name Bartholemew Mahoney born October 24, 1802at Cecil County Maryland. His father's name was Jeremiah Mahoney and hismother's name was Ellen. Bartholemew Married Mary Ann Lightner, adaughter of James and Mary Ann Lightner. She was born in Adams CountyPenn. These people lived in Nauvoo Ill. in 1844 and were members of theMormon Church. I believe Bartholemew was a brother of Stephen Mahoney. The Mahoneys have followed the teachings of the L. D. S. or Mormonchurch ever since the church was formed. They were in Nauvoo Ill. at thetime there were so many Mormons massacred. Most of this information hasbeen taken from the files of the Mormon Church. Written by Mrs. Lowell Mahoney. The source of the information apparently being the files of the Mormon Church.
