In 1975, Margaret Eliza Pollock Campbell created a narrative from her Pollock, Stoakes, Granger, Vantilberg, Yeoman, Beat, Nullion and Peddie family histories and local (Rolfe and Traer, Iowa), state (Iowa) and national (Civil War, presidential elections) histories to make her family narrative told more personal for her family members. Any descendants of the mentioned family names will enjoy reading events unfold as told by family members. Eleazer Stoakes and Grant Pollock are Civil War veterans of this family and their stories are included. The history begins as ancestors arrive in America on sailing ships, and ends at the home where the author grew up- 902 Elm Street in Rolfe, Iowa. The narrative was typed and mimeographed- never published. This book publishes this work, along with photos that were literally pasted in the few books actually made.

Margaret Pollock Campbell lived from 1910 to 1992. She was the third of five children for Grant and Marie Belle Stoakes Pollock. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in journalism, and worked many years for the Spencer Daily Reporter newspaper in Spencer, Iowa. She was active in putting on the Clay County Fair each year. Her husband Floyd was the Clay county engineer. At the suggestion of her aunt Anna Pollock, she compiled family experiences and dates, and combined with local, state, and national stories, produced this unusual family history, which was never published. We publish this work in her honor.
