Residence
Beginning in the 1850's, newspaper advertisements in Bytown began to appear soliciting new settlers to homestead in Iowa. By this time, most of the good farmland in the Ottawa area had been taken up and patented and it was difficult for a large second generation here to acquire a livelihood by farming.
