Howard (1907), Vol. 2 biographies
its biographies are scattered through the volume. A concentrated Liberty cluster stands at printed pp. 1003–1032+ (Parts 73–77), and at least four more Liberty entries stand scattered (Parts 33, 44, 68). The cluster is heavily Sheneman / Geyer / Houser / Kane / McEnderfer kin-web — Howard’s Liberty coverage is a family-web coverage, not a town-officers coverage. For gap G-GV-8 (first town board / early officers): Howard Vol. 2 does NOT settle it. What it yields for officers is incidental and later: Israel Irvin, “first village treasurer of North Liberty” (no year); Del M. Woodward, justice of the peace 1898 and board of education 1906; Charles Earley, Liberty Township trustee at the time of writing (in the Kane entry); Rev. Isaac Early, county commissioner for three years (years not given). The earliest town-board president reached in any record is L. W. Pommert, town board president in 1912 (Nomination, §6) — still two decades after incorporation (8 June 1894). G-GV-8 stands OPEN; settler unchanged: the town’s first minute book (NL-1).
