...1870Mar11, West.Union.IA paper: A good letter from Jefferson Township
.....Advantages, Settlement, &C; The south and west part of the township, (in which is the head of the Greeley's Grove timber) is already well settled. The remainder of the township is rapidly being settled. People are fast being acquainted with the fact the form of the country is beautiful, just rolling enough, and the quality of the soil is rich and fertile, and at lower prices than an average of the State.
.....Improvements and Doings; A substantial flouring mill is being erected on Otter Creek, in the south part of the township. Two or three surveys have been amde through the township by the Des Moines and McGregor Rail Road Co., so a large portion of the people expect a rail road just near enough to their residences.
.....The only trading point and Post Office in Jefferson.Twp at present (1870), is Otsego, a place of two stores, and three places of entertainment for travelers.

...1873, the rails came from the south, and Oelwein.IA was started with a depot at this location 1+mi NW of Otsego. Within a couple of years Otsego as a commercial pioneer village ceased to exist, with nearly all commerce moving to the new rail center of Oelwein. Otsego was the precursor of Oelwein.
...1873+, B.H. Bennett moved his Otsego mercantile/grocery by wagon & four horses today's SW corner of S.Frederick & 1st St. (Mealy Hotel corner). This was the first store in what would become Oelwein (in Sec 21, Jeff.Twp, originally named Hazelton, but quickly changed to the last name of an original German settler of the location). The second was the cobbler store built by Nick Graf, who made & repaired shoes and leather. Third, Bill Watsel opened a clothing store. Independence businesses rapidly built stores in the new town.
...1873Dec16, Dr. Patterson, a pioneer physician in the area, took it upon himself to move the Otsego P.O. to the new Oelwein village.
...1873+, Otsego basically discontinued with the immediate growth of Oelwein. Some of the Otsego building would be moved into Oelwein.
...1873-1876, Oelwein had grown to 40+ business firms, 9 churches, 5 social clubs, a school building (1874/$950).
...1874Feb05, Oelwein.IA paper: Buildings Removed from Otsego to Oelwein by early 1874: The drug store, post-office, dwelling house of Dr. Pattison, store of B.H. Bennett (now enlarged), dwelling & wagon shop of Darius Matteson, dwelling of Rev. L. Ellingwood moved from his farm and built a blacksmith shop, blacksmith shop of M. Freeman, store & dwelling of N.S. Pattison.
...1875+, the area around old Otsego would continue to be referenced as Otsego Neighborhood into the later part of the 20th Century.
...1878, History of Fayette.Co.IA, p568: Otsego, Jefferson.Twp. This little village was laid out in 1856, on the NW corner of Sec34. A post office, named Jefferson, was established here, about the same time, but it was soon re-christened with the cognomen borne by the town (Otsego). Mr. (John B.) Woods opened a store here, and kept the post office till his death in 1860. The first blacksmith was D. Hayes. The second store was started in by B.H. Bennett, followed by another kept by H.S. Day. Later on, Mr. Bennett formed a partnership with Levi L. Carpenter, by which means the stock of goods was much increased---a great convenience to the neighborhood, which was then far distant from any considerable town. Mr. Bennett removed to Oelwein in 1873. The advent of the railroad into Jefferson.Twp, passing to the west, within sight of Otsego, and the location of the depot two miles away (Oelwein), has prevented this hamlet from growing larger, at least for many years.
...1910, Fitches History of Fayette.Co.IA, p418-419: Otsego was one of the promising villages of Fayette.Co.IA which died a natural death when missed by the railroad in near-by territory. This village was laid out in 1856, on the NW corner of Sec 34, Jefferson.Twp. It became quite a trading point, and so continued until a railroad depot was established at Oelwein, in sight of Otsego, but nearly 2 miles away. The business of the village was then gradually absorbed by its more fortunate rival, some buildings were moved to Oelwein, and finally, in 1873, Dr. Pattison, the pioneer physician of the southern part of the county, removed the postoffice to Oelwein, and soon Otsego was practically abandoned. The postoffice, at first named Jefferson, but soon changed to Otsego, was established soon after the village was laid out in 1856 (1857Jan22). Mr. Woods was the first merchant, and also the first postmaster. He died about 1860. Bennett & Chapman (should be Levi Carpenter) formed a mercantile partnership and conducted an extensive business, having a large patronage from the farming community in which no formidable rival town existed within a radius of many miles. Mr. Bennett moved to Oelwein in 1873, where he was prominent in business circles.

Levi L. Carpenter line
1860+, came from McHenry.Co.IL to settle in/near Otsego village, SE area of Jefferson.Twp, Fay.Co.IA.
In1873, removed to Kansas, when Ostego village ceases to exist with the rails coming to 'Oelwein.'
No recorded burials in Fayette.Co.IA; any deaths likely buried unmarked in Otsego.Cem.

Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data. Often World Connect or Ancestry trees/data was utilized as a foundation upon which to add material gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses and other data collected. My primary interest is generally the pioneer history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations. Family connections, locations and other data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of inter-related projects. My web pages are primarily personal study projects for note keeping, but can also jump start others. I have a huge number of projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is rekindled. Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.' Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.' I may have material for research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if appropriate.
