chief Engineers of the Rafters 



This list is by no means complete, as I am unable to 

 find any list made out by any one else; so must depend 

 on memory with a few suggestions from friends glad to 

 assist me in this work. 



I can only name the engineers who were on rafters 

 long enough to become identified with the rafting in- 

 dustry, as distinguished from the packet business or the 

 sand and gravel industry, and then my memory is lim- 

 ited to those whose work and reputation were above the 

 average, viz. : 



Henry Whitemore Galena, Illinois. 



William Myers Galena, Illinois. 



George Griffith Galena, Illinois. 



Conrad Kraus Galena, Illinois. 



James Hunt Savanna, Illinois. 



A. C. Van Bebber Savanna, Illinois. 



Henry Bingham Savanna, Illinois. 



Harry Beasley Sabula, Iowa. 



Wm. Edwards Clinton, Iowa. 



\Vm. Krause Clinton, Iowa. 



Fred Hufman Clinton, Iowa. 



George Rockwood Clinton, Iowa. 



James Duncan Clinton, Iowa. 



James Cary Clinton, Iowa. 



B. B. Rockwood Clinton, Iowa. 



John McKeever Clinton, Iowa. 



Sam Mikesell Clinton, Iowa. 



P. M. Maines Princeton, Iowa. 



P. H. Martin Princeton, Iowa. 



Geo. O. Lancaster Princeton, Iowa.
