Welsh Communities: Family and Household Statistics Summary. 223 1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Iowa is well known as a home to immigrants. The state's German and Norwegian heritage is familiar, as are the state's numerous immigrant colonies, such as Orange City, Elkhorn, Decorah, and Swedesburg. Ethnic celebrations abound; Story City holds Scandinavian Days, the Amana Colonies sponsor Oktoberfest, and Bella's Tulip Time festival attracts visitors from around the region. The state is home to four ethnic museums; the Norwegians have one in Decorah, the Germans in Davenport, the Danes in Elk Horn, and even the Czechs have a museum, in Cedar Rapids. Less well-known, however, is the fact that Iowa was also a popular destination for smaller immigrant groups, such as the Welsh. Though not as numerous as the Germans or Norwegians, or as well known as even the Czechs, many Welsh did choose to make their homes in Iowa. Other histories have told small portions of the story of the Welsh in Iowa, concentrating on the Welsh in certain occupations or as members of specific communities. This study will give a more complete account of the Iowa Welsh experience, first by tracing the development of Welsh identity in Wales, then discussing the economic and religious factors that led to emigration. The story of Welsh settlement will be told, emphasizing the development of the two main types of Welsh communities in Iowa, agricultural and coal mining, while placing those communities in the larger context of general Iowa settlement and ethnic composition. Finally, this study will explore how the Welsh regarded themselves, and the measures they did or did not take to preserve their ethnic identity. It is this idea of ethnic identity, and its expression, preservation, and eventual loss, that this study is most concerned with. Once Welsh immigrants were settled in America, all that united them was a shared 2 concept of their own ethnic distinctiveness. The question is, how much did this ethnic identity influence the Welsh in Iowa, and what did the Iowa Welsh do to either maintain or erase that identity? Although the history of the Welsh in Iowa has not been fully documented, neither has it been completely ignored. Former English professor Phillips Davies performed a yeoman's work in translating R.

  • A TAYLOR GENEALOGY a Limited Number of Copies of This Book Are
    A TAYLOR GENEALOGY 1963 A limited number of copies of this book are available at $10 per copy, from the Compiler Harmon R. Taylor 300 Thirty-Sixth Street N. E. Cedar Rapids, Iowa A TAYLOR GENEALOGY By Harmon R. Taylor The title of this book is by no means indicative of what it contains. A suitably descriptive title might be 'The An­ cestry and Relatives-by-Blood of the Children of Harmon Robert and Dorothy Whitman Bates Taylor' but any title ought to be brief as that would not be, and still it would not be adequate to describe \Vhat is offered herein. Inasmuch as every human being is the product of two in­ fluences - heredity and environrr1ent - of which now the one and again the other seems to be dominant, interest in one's ancestry (as distinguished from overweening pride therein) is eminently understandable and worthy. Almost equally understandable is the interest most of us have in all those who share with us even a minute segment of our own phys­ ical inheritance. Most of us, also, would like to know more about hov; our forebears lived, how they worked and played, and in general what influences have made us what we are. An attempthas been made to gratify, at least in some small measure, that desire. If this work has any really practical value, however, it will doubtless be in respect to its being available to settle arguments as to when Uncle Horace was born, or as to when Grandpa and Grandma were married. There probably are errors in dates and names, but amongst the rather formid­ able number of these appearing in this book the complete absence of errors would be nothing short of miraculous.

[page 3] Revival Emyr Roberts REVIVAL is probably more remote from the thinking of the churches today than it has been since the beginning of Nonconformity in our land, and certainly since the Methodist Revival of over two centuries ago.∗ When at the end of October 1904, with the fire of revival in his heart, Evan Roberts felt compelled to leave the preparatory school in Castellnewydd Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, to hold revival meetings in his home town of Casllwchwr in Glamorgan, Evan Phillips the minister, who had celebrated his seventy- fifth birthday the previous week and well remembered the 1859 Revival, recognized the Spirit in the young student and advised him to go. One wonders what advice he would be given today, were he a student under the same spiritual compulsion. Some of the leaders of the 1904 Revival, such as Joseph Jenkins and W. W. Lewis, had been under the tuition of men like Thomas Charles Edwards in Aberystwyth and John Harris Jones in Trefeca, of whom the former had been profoundly affected by the '59 Revival, and the latter a leader in that same Revival.
