Stream Family History

The Ely Community History Society Archives has recently received a digital version of the Stream Family History.

Part I (19 pages) of this historical narrative chronicles the Stream family from its origins in Germany, to Loudoun County, Virginia, then Licking County, Ohio and westward to Iowa in the mid-19th century.

 It is the work of the late Wendell W. Stream, and his son, Douglas K. Stream, who took on his father's research, expanded upon it, and wrote this narrative.

Part II of this booklet (25 pages) is a continuation of the story, focusing on the lives of the pioneer brothers, in addition to a few of their descendants who contributed to the development of Linn, Madison, Greene, and Union counties of Iowa. They are, Wilhelm Strehm (later referred to as William Stream), Samuel Addison Stream, Grafton Caywood Stream, and Elias Stream.

Two of those with ties to Ely are pictured below.
