Springdale, Iowa was a Quaker community w/strong abolitionist ties. Stopped there last week on a John Brown project & found this unrelated but intriguing grave site. Obit from Muscatine Journal (Dec 1902) via @StateCuratorIA

@dogwoodblooms Not that you care what I say but your heritage is pop, lots of examples like this one from The Raleigh News and Observer of July 04, 1924. For some unknown reason some people chose the adjective over the noun, guess that is what people from New York would start.

Listen up, y’all. Folks keep tagging me wanting to know what we call a carbonated beverage in NC. So here we go: 👇🏼 It’s a cold drink. It’s a Co’Cola - which comes in various flavors. Or it’s a specific drink - a Pepsi or a Sundrop. It might even be a soda, depending on where you live. 🤔 But under no circumstances is it ever a pop. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Thanks to all the women and men who have died in service to the United States, but especially the dedicated men of the 1st Colored Regiment of Iowa.

Read about men who served in the regiment and made their homes in Newton after the war, see Dwain Coleman’s ISU master’s thesis, “ Still in the Fight: The Struggle for Community in the Upper Midwest for African American Civil War Veterans” dr.lib.iastate.edu/server/api/cor…
