Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 11:05:29 EDT

CHARLES C. NOURSE, one of the earliest of the pioneers of Iowa, was born
October 12, 1804. He took up his residence in Dubuque in 1833 before the "Black
Hawk Purchase" was incorporated into Michigan Territory. In 1836, when it was
a part of Wisconsin Territory, and there was but two organized counties west
of the Mississippi River, Mr. Nowlin was chosen one of the Representatives from
Dubuque County to the Legislative Assembly which which met at Belmont in
October of that year. When the Territory of Iowa was created in 1838, Mr. Nowlin
was again elected to its First Legislative Assembly which convened in
Burlington in November. He thus participated in the framing and enactment of the
first laws extended over Iowa citizens. He died at Waterloo in 1892.
