Do You Remember When...

No one named Cartano has lived in Springville for eight decades, but in the late 1800s, there were many. The last grandchild in this area, Elfriede “Toni” Freshwaters, lived east of Springville. She died over 18 years ago. The family’s story began with a wedding June 30, 1851, in Pottsville, Pa. Anton Cartano, 22, and Sophia Caroline Klein, 21, were from Obermoschel and Bischmisheim in southwestern Germany. Anton’s father was Italian. Caroline gave birth to 16 children, but five died as infants. The first eight children who lived were John (baptized Johannes for his paternal grandfather), Anthony (Dony), Jacob, Elizabeth, Charles, Louise, Daniel, and Anna. In May 1869, when Anna was a month old, the family left Schuylkill County, Pa., for Linn County, Iowa. After a year of living in Waubeek, they moved to a nearby farm. Richard, Mary Terace (Trace), and Lamburtis (Bert), were born. Meanwhile, the older ones started to marry. The first grandchild, Carrie, was born in 1875 at Marion to Eliza-beth and her husband, John J. Buxler. A grandson, John Guy, was born at Anamosa to John and Sarah Elston Cartano in 1878. Also that year, Charles married Elizabeth Cavanaugh. They and the Cartano par-ents moved to Springville. The 1880 Brown Township cen-

sus listed Anton as a saloon keeper, with six children ages 6 through 17 at home. Jake married Lizzie McGonagle; they lived at Ireton, in Souix County, Iowa, and Goodland, in western Kansas. Daniel moved to Idaho, then Washington state. Bert went to Athena, Ore., to play pro baseball, and later lived in Seattle. Richard wed Jennie Campbell of Springville and became a banker in Monticello. (Toni Freshwaters was their daugh-ter.) Trace married Nathan Embree, a creamery worker who became a railroad depot agent. Dony worked at a Springville pool hall; he, Louise, and Anna were single. On Dec. 4, 1901, the father, Anton, died at 73. Anna, 35, took her own life July 8, 1904. She had endured chronic pain since being hurt at 14 in an unknown accident. Louise taught piano lessons and sold Victrolas. The mother, Caroline, was bedfast two years with a broken hip. She died March 27, 1923, at almost 93. Last survivor of the 11 siblings was Trace Embree, 86,

who died Jan. 4, 1960, at Madrid, Iowa. She, her daughter

Irma, and 10 other Cartanos rest in the Springville Ceme-

tery. Today there may be hundreds of living Cartano de-

scendants, but none around Springville.

Elfriede Cartano Freshwaters

No SAHS meetings in July, August

The Springville Area Historical Society (SAHS) will not meet in July and August. Meetings will resume Sept. 12. At the June 13 meeting, Rick Heeren reported that an SAHS tour of the Masonic lodge hall might be possible, insurance permitting. Bev Franks showed photos of her maternal grandfather and great-grandfather wearing their Masonic regalia. Springville High School Class of 1947 memories, given by Wava Peck Terry of Dubuque at the June 3 alumni banquet, were read by Karen Taylor, historian. Bev re-ported on her Class of 1957 reunion. Don McShane donated check blanks inscribed Maple

Grove (name of the Butler farm). Others present June 13

were James Crow, president; Jean Schmidt, secretary-

treasurer; Doug Beard; and Phil and Karen Randall.

Once numerous, Cartanos have vanished from Springville

Remembering Toni Freshwaters

Toni Freshwaters was a petite, charming woman who belonged to Monday Club, was organist and choir director at the Springville Methodist Church, and enjoyed bridge and golf. She dressed styl-ishly, had an impish sense of humor, and wrote letters to the editor. Born Elfriede Lisle Car-

tano in 1902, Toni was the

youngest of Richard and

Jennie Cartano’s three chil-

dren. At age 12 she lost her

mother. Toni married

George Freshwaters in

1930. Their children were

Nancy (Mrs. William Dar-

land) and Jack. Toni sur-

vived “Freshie” (as she

called him) 24 years; she

died Dec. 5, 1998, at 96.

This photo of

Anton and

Caroline Car-

tano with their

seven sons

and four

daughters was

taken before

December

1901. Anton

was a saloon

keeper. When

the Cartano

family moved

to Springville

from rural

Waubeek in

1878, a few of

the older chil-

dren were al-

ready married.

AT LAST, HEADWAY is being made toward obtaining a government memorial for Robert L. Newman, a Springville man who was lost at sea Dec. 26, 1952, in the Korean War. The son of Hubert “Stub” and Elizabeth Newman, he was a 1948 graduate of Springville High School.

Springville American Legion Flag Retirement Ceremony

The Springville American Legion Post 331 held their annual Flag Dis-posal Ceremony on Saturday, June 10th at the Cox Pond Pavilion. There were several members of Legion posts from other communities in attendance. The Knights of Columbus also helped with the cere-mony. Pastor Rick Gail was a guest speaker along with the other 16 members of the Springville American Legion, it takes this many peo-ple to have a successful flag retirement ceremony. The Springville Fire Department members do the actual burning of the flags. There were approximately 3,000 flags that were properly retired that day by fire (not burned). If you have a flag that needs to be retired, you may take it to the Springville American Legion during normal business hours. Flags are for sale at the Legion.

The State of Iowa has recently passed a law that allows the sale and use of consumer fireworks to individuals 18 years old and over, on days including June 1st-July 8th and December 10th-January 3rd of each year. This is a very new law and cities were left to wade thru the requirements as they were released. Here in Springville, it has been decided to leave the law as is for the first period because timing left no option to write, pass and legally enforce a new ordinance before the state law took effect. Springville will use this first period of legal sales and use of consumer fireworks as a basis in deciding the future control of fireworks sales and use within the city, basically a trial period before the December sales and use period. Time periods for use are as follows: A. Fireworks can be used or exploded only during the hours of 9am to 10pm on June 1st-July 8th and December 10th- January 3rd of each year. There are 3 exceptions to this rule: 1. On July 4th and the weekend prior and immediately after you are allowed to use consumer fireworks from 9am until 11pm. 2. On December 31st and early January 1st the time is from 9am until 12:30am. 3. On the weekends immediately preceding and following December 31st the time is from 9am until 11pm. B. A person shall not use consumer fireworks on property other than that person’s property or on the property of a person who has consented to the use of consumer fireworks on that property. Use is not allowed on City owned property, including parks. These are some of the regulations enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Iowa, Senate File 489s signed by the Governor. Please be reminded that this initial period of sales and use will determine whether or not additional ordinances will be necessary for the City of Springville. Please be safe, considerate and always use common sense when dealing with fireworks. City of Springville
