Our house was built in 1910 by Hubert and
Catherine Margaret Slobe. The Slobe family moved to
Pella in 1847 and were well known for their merchandising business, Slobe Brothers and Company, which operated in Pella from 1853-1944.
In 1964 Claire and Dorothy Gifford purchased
the home and owned it until 2010 when we purchased it.
As the third owners of this home we moved
in April of 2010. The house was in move in condition
and although it needed several updates it was very much
maintained in its original condition. We fell in love with
the house the moment we walked in the door. We loved
the large front rooms, the four bedrooms with large walk
in closets, and the location.

Vandalism committed
on Festival of Lights
in Dayton Nov. 14
Lois Marie Lambert, 87
Wranglers shed also entered. . .
There was major vandalism committed Saturday
night, Nov. 14, in Oak Park, Dayton, to the displays for
the Festival of Lights.
Damage was extensive. Almost all of the candy canes that had already been erected were destroyed.
Many other displays were also destroyed.
Beverly Jondle, who has spearheaded the Festival of Lights this year, said she would lead the effort to
erect other lighting displays so that the Festival of Lights
could still be held.
Beverly has been helped by her daughter Katara
and by her sister Patsy who moved to Dayton last summer.
Vandals also broke into a cook shack/shed operated by the Dayton Wranglers. Many items were strewn
on the floor. Some things were damaged.
There were also some chairs and some equipment thrown into the arena from the announcers booth.

Lois Marie Olson was born on August 11, 1928, to
Floyd and Tina (Skoglund) Olson. She graduated from
Dayton High School in 1945, and continued attending
her class reunions until 2015. She was united in marriage
to Harold Lambert on December 21, 1945. The couple
established their home and engaged in farming northwest
of Dayton for over 60 years.
Lois was a stay at home mom for many years. She
was committed to assist with the farm work and do all the
bookkeeping for the farm operation. However, her main
priority was nurturing and development of her four precious children. She gave birth to twins, (Bill and Bruce),
son Brian, and daughter Sandi. She dedicated her life to
the support and encouragement of her children, 13 grandchildren, and 24 great grandchildren.
She was an active member of the Lanyon Covenant Church for many years. She belonged to the Covenant Women, led many neighborhood bible studies, and
opened her home to Joy Clubs in the summer. Lois valued her family above all else and entertained with many
dinners, picnics, and family reunions. She organized
many fundraisers and assisted many non-profit organizations with her finances. She generously gave sums of
money to great grandchildren so that they could attend
summer bible camps. Lois loved to knit and made many
afghans for all the members of her family. She enjoyed
reading, listening to Christian radio, watching sports on
T.V. and visiting with friends and family. Years ago, her
greatest joy was in helping others by delivering a casserole, baking rye bread, sending cards and letters, or making a phone call. She was a wonderful role model for all.
She had many others call her grandma, claiming her as
a profound, significant influence in their lives. She was
so interested in the lives of others, always encouraging
those around her to find Jesus Christ for a born again
experience. She was bold in her faith and steady in her
commitment to Christ. She will be missed by very many
people.
Survivors include her children; Bruce (Joan) Lambert of Dayton, Iowa, Brian (Kathy) Lambert of Dayton,
Iowa, and Sandi (Steve) Ward of Ames, Iowa; daughterin-law, Cari Lambert of Dayton, Iowa; three sisters, Mavis (Phil) Presler of California, Marilyn (Chet) Cole of
Texas, and Janet (Greg) Crew of Oregon; she was loved
and cherished by thirteen grandchildren, twenty four
great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Harold Lambert on May 18, 2011, and one son,
Bill Lambert in 2010.
Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

Mark your calendar for Sunday, December 13
at 4:30 pm. The 2nd Annual Progressive Community
Christmas Program will begin at the Stratford Lutheran
Church. Come inside the Fellowship Hall to meet Mary,
Elizabeth, Joseph, and the angel-Gabriel, and take a new
look at the Announcement of this amazing event we
observe as Christmas. As they finish, the shepherds will
be out in the field, and we will journey with them to
Bethlehem (Calvary United Methodist Church).
Meet the Innkeeper and discover how Joseph
and Mary ended up in a stable for the birth of baby Jesus,
the King of Kings. Music, the traveling shepherds, and
other actors will tell the story of The Greatest Wonder.
From there everyone will move on to the First
Baptist Church (Hwy 175 E) to become acquainted with
the Wise men from afar, their gifts for Jesus, and The
Affirmation.
Music, costuming, multigenerational involvement, and observer participation is planned. Feel free to
walk or ride, and observe from your car. Again, mark
your calendar for December 13, and bring your family
and friends for a new look at the Christmas story. Coffee,
punch, and cookies, with time for fellowship will follow.
This is a free celebration of Gods Special Gift
to each of us.

In 1874 he in turn disposed of his business to Lindhold, Olson & Swanson, who continued until 1878 when they sold
it out to the present proprietor, Mr. A.R. Daughenbaugh.
The spring of 1870 will be memorable to those
who lived here as one of the severest snow storms they
ever witnessed. Snow commence to rage at 4 p.m. on
March 17th and continued through Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday until it finally subsided. In this storm there
were two persons frozen to death, one of them being Joseph Gilbert and the other being an employee of the railroad company. The company put out a car down by the
water tank, which was supposed to be a repair car. During
the storm they had a clothes line stretched from the car to
the coal pile so as to guide them as they carried in their
fuel. But on going out into the storm, the supposition is,
That his hat blew off and he, not thinking, tried to retrieve
it and thereby wandered off on the prairie until he was frozen to death.
The first grain house was built in 1870 by Mr.
Lynd who then bought grain of a few scattered farmers.
A Mr. Perkins, in the fall of 1871, built the first hotel and
upon completion, however, it was sold to Major Birmingham for a dwelling. He soon after sold it to Job C. Williams who fixed it up and started a hotel.
Gowrie, since its settlement, has experienced a
gradual and justified growth, until now, in its eight year, it
has a population of about 400. At the time of the completion of the D.M. & Ft. D. R. R. to Gowrie, the people and
land speculators thought that land would be worth something, and they had a soft Snap. Land previous to the
completion of this road was worth from $3 to $5 per acre,
and immediately after its completion the price raised to
$10 to $15 per acre, The advance in price, of course, drove
many of the immigrants further west to Kansas and Nebraska where land could be had at a nominal price. Since
then land has dropped in value, but the opportunities for
securing these cheap and good lands are diminishing.
From this early beginning as reported in this early
day newspaper, the town of Gowrie and its surrounding
community has continued a rather steady march of progress and is entering its second century with the hope that
it will continue to be a good place to live. For the most
part the citizenry consists of business and service people
which are employed within the community, farmers, and
retired farmers and an increasing number of persons who
are earning their livelihood in larger nearby towns. All of
these, together with their families, will determine what this
community will be in the future.

front, another smaller porch off the back entry, and a third
on the second floor off of the master bedroom.
Since moving into the home we have repainted
walls in every room with the exception of the two bathrooms. Our first project was removing the non functioning kitchenette adjacent to an upstairs bedroom. This
room and kitchenette were rented out prior to the Giffords purchasing the house in 1964.
We turned the kitchenette into a large walk-in
closet off of the Master bedroom. Our next project was
removing carpet, linoleum and underlayment from the
kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. This exposed the
original Fir wood flooring that was then sanded and refinished.
Our first outdoor project was the addition of a
playhouse for the children; complete with a kitchen and
hard wood floors. We also built and installed a Little
Free Library that was placed near the city sidewalk. The
next project was a total makeover of the front yard.
This project included removal of all shrubs, a
large maple tree and the sidewalk leading to the front
porch. New front steps were installed along with a brick
paver sidewalk. The yard was graded and seeded. A
retaining wall was installed beginning at the front steps
wrapping around the south side of the house to the back
porch.
The skirting around the back porch and half of
the front porch has also been improved. We have plans to
continue the retaining wall and porch skirting around the
North side of the house. Our latest project was the complete removal and replacement of the soffit, facia, and
shingles.
We thoroughly enjoy living in our home. It provides great space and functionality for our family. We
have completed many projects in the 5 1/2 years that we
have lived in our home.
We have many more projects in mind that will
allow us to preserve this wonderful home and also allow
us to enjoy it for many more years to come.
