To summarize this mess:  Harriet & Herman Stanley are married in Cedar Co, IA 1871.   Nellie is born here 1873.  Between 1874 & 1880, they pack up & move to Mills Co, IA.  A second daughter, Carrie, is born Oct 1880 Mills Co.  Herman dies Dec 1880.  Harriet then marries Joshua Fickel 1883 Mills Co.  Between 1883 and 1891, the family moves to Sheridan Co, NE.  Harriet's daughter, Nellie, marries Joshua's son, John, 1889.  Not sure if they married in IA or NE.  John & Nellie have two children born in NE,  a son in 1891 & a daughter in 1893.  Between 1893 & 1896, they all move to Clay Co, KY, where a third child is born 1896.  My grandmother is born there 1900.  They show up in the 1900 census.  Joshua probably died in Clay Co between 1900 & 1909, as the family is out of Clay Co by 1910 and another son is born in Scott Co, IA 1911.  Harriet shows up in Scott Co with Nellie & John & dies there 1916.

Mrs. Melvina Pope Fanning Biography

 From "Vol. 2 History of Davenport and Scott County" by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago.

 Surnames: Pope, Fanning, Angle, Rathburn, Wood, Allen, Van Epps

Mrs. Melvina Pope Fanning, who is well and favorably known I Princeton, where the greater part of her life has been passed, owns considerable property in the village and thirty-five acres of farm land in Princeton township. Her father, Isaac Tracey Pope, was one of the early settlers of Scott county and was a descendant of pioneers, for his ancestors came to America from England, when this continent was first being colonized. Those who established the family on this side of the Atlantic were Thomas and John Pope, who crossed the ocean on the Mary and John, landing in Massachusetts September 3, 1634. John Pope was a freeman of Dorchester and in his will, drawn up in 1646, mentioned his brother Thomas, who is supposed to have been Thomas Pope of Plymouth.

Isaac Tracy Pope, a lineal descendant and father of Mrs. Fanning, was born in Oswego county, New York, August 13, 1811, a son of Squire S. and Sallie (Angle) Pope, who came west in 1835 and settled in Quincy, Illinois. Isaac Tracy Pope received a common-school education in the east, married there and in 1840 came to Linn county, Iowa, where he secured a tract of government land, upon which he built a log cabin, and there lived until 1854. Being in limited circumstances he and his wife had to endure many hardships attendant upon the primitive state of the country and the strain of poverty. However, he was energetic and ambitious and in the course of years his labors brought him a generous competence. In 1854 he removed from Linn county to Scott county, where he engaged in farming until his death, which occurred March 17, 1863. His wife survived him more than twenty years. She was Miss Mary A. Rathburn, in her maidenhood and a daughter of Washington and Eunice Rathburn. Born i!

n Oswego county, New York, March 15, 1814, she there grew to young womanhood and was married to Mr. Pope, January 28, 1834. She endured the hardships of pioneer life in Iowa in the early years of her wedded life, and when the Scott County Pioneer Society was organized became one of its honored members. Hers was a life of courage and devotion to her family, and she was deeply mourned when, on the 30th of December, 1886, she was called to her final rest. The last fourteen years of her life were passed in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fanning. Nine children were born to her and her husband, as follows: Sarah, who became the wife of James Wood, of Princeton; William H., who wedded Miss Mary Allen and is now deceased; Melvina, who is now living at Princeton; George W., who wedded Miss Anna Maria Van Epps and is now a resident of Pleasant Valley township; and four who died in infancy. William H. Pope was born October 12, 1840, and was a young man of twenty-one when, on the 14th o!

f October, 1861, he enlisted in the Second Iowa Calvary under Colonel Egbert. He saw considerable active service during the Civil war and was discharged October 4, 1864.

Mrs. Melvina Pope Fanning was born in Linn county, Iowa, near the town of Lisbon, January 30, 1845, and accompanied her parents when they came to Scott county. She attended the common schools of Pleasant Valley township, although she was not permitted to give much time to the preparation of lessons, for at the age of fifteen her father bought a hotel in Princeton and placed her in charge of it. She conducted the hostelry with success, displayed good business judgment, and became favorably known in the village and the vicinity as a woman of large ability.

At the end of four years she gave her hand in marriage to John A. Fanning, who was born at Clayton, Jefferson county, New York, May 20, 1835. In 1857 he came west, settling first in Moline, Illinois, where he lived until 1859, when he came to Princeton, Scott county. After the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted from this village in Company C., Second Iowa Cavalry, and in the three years of his service participated in many of the hotly contested battles of the great struggle. Upon his return to civil life he took up his residence in Princeton, where he followed his trade as a blacksmith, and where, October 31, 1864, he was united in marriage to Miss Melvina Pope. The couple passed along the highroad of life together for more than a score of years, before their union was broken by the death of Mr. Fanning, who passed away in 1885.

Mrs. Fanning is well known and highly respected in Princeton township, where she has spent so many years. She has shown courage and ability in meeting the several problems that have confronted her, and while she has exhibited a keen business sagacity on many occasions, she is endowed with those womanly traits that make her beloved and venerated among a large circle of friends.
