History and Genealogy of Delaware County Iowa
People Christian Coonrad On a farm about four miles north of Manchester, in Delaware county, lives Christian Coonrad, who is 113 years old. He heard Washington make a speech, was a soldier in the war of 1812, and is still a well preserved old man. One day's talk with him will teach a history class more about early United States history than they will learn from books in a week.—Spencer Herald.
