    SIX PK IN III UUVKHNOII OF IOWA. .JANUARY 18, 1896 TO JAN DART 13, 189&. FRANCIS MARION DRAKF. x BY W. II. B^LEMTSTG. Francis Marion Drake, governor of the State 1896-1898, departed this life November 20, 1903, in the seventy-third year of his age. Thus closed the earthly career of a worthy man, one of Iowa's most notable philanthropists. Governor Drake was descended from James Drake, who went from the colony of Virginia to that of North Carolina in the eighteenth century. Sev- eral of the family have been notable characters in the history of Nash county, North Carolina, in both colony and State, as they were also in the war of the Revolution. James Drake's son Benjamin married Celia Thayer. Their son, John Adams, born in 1802, married Harriet J. O'Neil, and after a briof resi- dence in Tennessee, removed to Illinois, where, in Sehuyler county, their second son, Francis Marion, was born December 30,18H0. In 1837, Mr. John Drake moved with hi-family across the Mississippi river into Lee county, then Wis- consin territory, and settled at Fort Madison, then recently laid out. Here Mr. Drake, besides enjoying a successful busine-s career, was justice of the peace, and also probate judge. In 1846, he removed with his family to Davis county, territory of Iowa, where he founded the town of Drakesville Here young Francis attended district school as he had at Fort Madison. He was sub- sequently in his father's employ until 1852, when with a train of two wagons (each drawn by eight oxen), and accompanied by five men and a boy, he took the overland route to California.

MOTT The following article attempts to give a brief liistorieal sketch of each newspaper established in Iowa from 1836 to 1860 inclu- sive, following its history to its discontinuance, or to the present time. The title of eaeh paper is given, the place and date of its establishment, its politics if any, the name of the editor or pub- lisher, with the changes in these as they occurred, with the dates as nearly as possible, the changes in title, and the changes from weekly to daily, or vice versa. As nearly all of the papers were weekly, all are considered such in this article, unless otherwise stated. It also gives a list of the files of these papers that are in the Historieal, Memorial and Art Department of Iowa. The sources from which the information Iiere used has been gathered are cited in the footnotes. Liberal use has been made of the newspaper files for determining dianges of editors or pub- lishers, or changes of names of papers, without specifically credit- ing eaeh such authority.
