Our Chapter at Work
The Buena Vista Chapter abstracted all
the names in the wills
1880-1900 in Buena Vista County. These
names were then alphabetized and
cross-referenced in three volumes
titled "Abstracts of Wills of Buena Vista
County, Iowa 1880-1900." This was done
because the 1890 census was destroyed in a
fire in Washington, D.C. and the names were
lost. These volumes were submitted to the
Buena Vista Genealogical Library, the Iowa
Genealogical Society Library, the Iowa
Historical Society Library and the National
Daughters of the America Revolution Library.
Buena Vista
Chapter NSDAR worked to landscape
the area around the Pioneer
Rock. The rock was dedicated
on October 11, 1926.
This chapter project received
national recognition as the Third
Place winner of the Conservation
Chapter Contest and was awarded
Second Place in the North Central
Division Chapter Contest for 2015.
