Subject

Dana, Iowa; poll tax; Persons Subject to Poll Tax; delinquent poll tax; tax collection; genealogy; gone away; Armstrong; Brown; Coburn; Crouse; Collins; Grivey; Greif; Jones; Johnson; Kennedy; Kershner; Morris; Martin; Moranville; Meredith; McNurlen; Patterson; Patrick; Smith; Swanson; Swaim; Varney; Waltz; Jervis; French; Carl Dana; Oxley; Cruse; Mobley

Description

Undated working list headed "Persons Subject to Poll Tax," 28 Dana men, marked with checks and tallies, presumably as payments came in; Frank Varney [?] is marked "Gone away." It includes men not on the 1912 assessor's rolls (Clark French, Carl Dana, Harold Oxley, John Cruse), so it probably dates a few years after 1912. Found loose with the Dana Council minutes book (record book of 1912 onward) at City Hall.
