Mona Martin was first elected as state Representative, HD 43 in 1992

[…]

Juvenile Justice photograph–Mona did a lot of work in this area. Researched top and worked on revising it. In early 1990s Davenport and across the state communities were having huge problem with juveniles. Police could not photograph juveniles, contact schools and other such activities which could facilitate work in prosecuting juveniles. Martin was heavily involved in task forces. She submitted revision to Juvenile Justice Bill. Was a major part of her early legislative career.

Schaffer Pen Company makes Gov. Terry Branstad pens. Each person at a bill signing receives a pen. He utilizes each pen as he signs his name … this often results in the jerking spelling of his name on official documents. Pens are paid for by Gov. Branstad.

Scope Notes:
This collection focuses on the Kornder family: Dr. Louis H. Kornder married Gertrude Elphick in 1915, and they had one child named Roger L. Kornder in 1919. It is composed of photographs and documents.

Louis was born in Wisconsin in 1888. He went to medical school at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University and graduated in 1918.

Additionally, he became president of the Davenport Public Museum board in the early 1950s. He retired from the positon after 17 years in 1968. He participated in many local organizations and he enjoyed travelling. He passed away in 1973.

Gertrude was born in London and graduated from Chicago Musical College in 1907. She taught students to play the piano and pipe organ.

Gertrude lived to be 94, and she passed away in 1979.

Roger was born Dec. 14, 1919 in Davenport, Iowa. He earned a master’s degree in biology from the University of Iowa. He taught science and art until 1972 when he retired.

INVENTORY

JAMES GRANT COLLECTION 1907-72

James Grant, an attorney who immigrated to Iowa around 1836, became a member of the Iowa Territorial Legislature, district judge for counties in northeast Iowa, president of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, and representative for Scott County in the Iowa (State) Legislature. The James Grant Collection of the Putnam Museum of History and Natural Sciences consists of 15 linear feet of personal papers, correspondence, financial records, and documents related to Grant’s various careers.

The organization of this collection is determined by an item-level card index which lists dates and subjects of correspondence by correspondent; documents are classified as General File, Legal Case File, and Personal File. These three files comprise the main series of the collection. The General File consists mostly of correspondence and is organized chronologically, with primary documents dated from 1843 to 1887. The Legal Case File is organized alphabetically by case, with most documents dated in the 1870s and 1880s. The Personal File is organized by topic and includes biographical information, financial records, notebooks, correspondence with relatives, and other personal records; primary records in the Personal File are dated 1830s to 1880s. The following outline is a folder-level inventory of the James Grant Collection.

INVENTORY

JAMES GRANT COLLECTION NOTES

When the James Grant Collection was inventoried in 1998, an existing system of organization was used in order that the item-level card index to the collection would still be useful. At the time of the 1998 inventory, some documents were found to be mis-filed; either the dates had been mis-identified during the previous organization and indexing of the collection, or the documents had been mis-filed since. If dates had been mis-identified at the time of indexing, the card index will refer to the wrong dates. The following notes will help to locate documents that had been incorrectly filed by date.
