Although it makes perfect logical sense--it still surprises me that you can buy this whole Victorian house from 1893 in Vinton, Iowa for a lot less than we bought a small condo in a slightly older Queen Anne house in metro Boston.

Vinton is a town of about 4k people and Benton County has half the number of inhabitants that my town does. Middlesex County, MA is 1.4 million people. We’re a major center for tech, medicine, universities, finance, and tourism.

The photos give me a distinct sense of the different places. I don’t know what other people will see.

first row: The Vinton House, haunted piano room, and map with closest city. second row: detail of our exterior, our living room (before we bought it), Boston map. 

#I can't share photos of our current livingroom #Our old IKEA furniture is too big and totally wrong for the room #we intend to buy new pieces but we bought an electric car last month #a sofa and some chairs will have to wait #even so David has his work space in there too #that's not so bad #the rest is depressing #so let's ignore it! #I am often delighted to think that the Revolutionary war started in my yard #not the shots in Lexington #the first battle #the red coats were routed #the more I look at these images the more I want to anthropomorphize the places and make it a love story #person from midwest grew up in haunted house meet someone from around here #one is an orderly laywer and the other is an artist a free spirit a creature of the moment #but which is which? #yeah I know I just descibed Dharma and Greg #not them #2 other imaginary people

Hey, I'm a nonbinary teen from Iowa. I'm also autistic, and have a hard time making friends. Do you have any advice on finding a queer community when you live in a place that isn't really accepting of LGBTQ+ people?

I know some parts of Southern Iowa are much more difficult for pretty much any minority than other parts of Iowa. Even though I am in rural Benton County I have experienced very few issues and I have been here 20 plus years. I grew up in Solon Iowa in the 1980's and it was in no way safe for me to come out if I wanted to "fit in" with my peers in school.

My first suggestion is your public library. Librarians tend to be socially neutral if they are any good at their job. Bascially they are passionate about supporting all sides of their community and nuetrality makes everyone feel comfortable in the public space. Ask them if they have a reading group or if they would help you start one.

I have found that I am most comforable and able to grow among lesbians who are most like me and share common stories. I suggest you find others who are most aligned with you. Contact a local or Iowa Autistic group and ask if they have any other teen/minor NB people who you can befriend. They are awesome community oriented people and will likely be happy to help you find some like friends

See if there is a local PFLAG. There is one in Mount Pleasant if you are near that location. Contact PFLAG National at www.pflag.org and ask if they have local connections or a group or resources. If you live near a larger city that has a pride reach out to them to see if they have resources or a FB or website or if they allow minor volunteers.

United Action For Youth and The Tanager Place LGBTQ+ Youth Center might be good places to contact for resources and ideas.

The Benton County Fair(Vinton)

(number 3 in a series)  The job of visiting all the county fairs in Iowa(over 100+ at last count) poses many problems to this season traveller.

Raymond Vaughn Banner, son of Vilas C. and Mary A. (Clark) Banner, was born December 16, 1937, at rural Tingley, Iowa in the home of his grandparents, Dellno and Lola Banner.

He grew up on several farms in Ringgold County and attended various country and town grade schools. In 1956 he graduated from Benton High School. Raymond graduated with a certificate from Grace Bible Institute, Omaha, Nebraska, 1959; received a B.A. degree from Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, 1961; earned a Th. M. (Master of Theology) degree from Dallas Theological Seminary, 1965.

From August 1965 to 1969 he was engaged in preaching and religious work. In April 1970 he moved to Des Moines where he was employed as a clerk at the Des Moines, Iowa Post Office from April 27, 1970 to August 31, 1992 when early retirement was taken. He had worked part time at the Dallas Post Office when in seminary.

He purchased a home at 603 N. Hayes in Mount Ayr, Iowa and moved there December 2, 1992, across from his mother, Mary Banner. Raymond assisted his mother during the last ten years of her life, until her death on December 4, 2002.

In 1972 Raymond became involved with the Right to Life movement and was an active volunteer for twenty years. After moving to Mount Ayr he served as president of the Ringgold County Historical Society for nine years. While living in Mount Ayr he attended the Regular Baptist Church and occasionally the Free Methodist Church.

In May 2011 Raymond moved from his Mount Ayr residence to a home at 410 South Vine Street in Creston, Iowa.

Raymond compiled, wrote, edited, and published a number of books on genealogy and local history.

He was conservative in his Christian faith, politics, and lifestyle. Reading, research, and writing were favorite pastimes. Raymond was a lifelong bachelor.

In April 2021, Raymond became a resident of Clearview Home in Mount Ayr where he lived the remainder of his life. Raymond passed away on June 20, 2022. He was preceded in death by his brother Eugene at age sixteen in 1963 and by his parents.

He is survived by cousins, distant relatives, and friends.

“My Father was a freeman, but my mother a slave, belonging to William Johnson, a wealthy farmer who lived at the time I was born near Independence, Jackson county, Missouri. While I was a small girl my master and family moved to Jefferson City. My master died there and when the war broke out and the United States soldiers came to Jefferson City they took me and other colored folks with them to Little Rock. Col. Benton of the 13th army corps was the officer that carried us off. I did not want to go. He wanted me to cook for the officers, but I had always been a house girl and did not know how to cook. I learned to cook after going to Little Rock and was with the army at The Battle of Pea Ridge. Afterwards the command moved over various portions of Arkansas and Louisiana. I saw the soldiers burn lots of cotton and was at Shreveport when the rebel gunboats were captured and burned on Red River. We afterwards went to New Orleans, then by way of the Gulf to Savannah Georgia, then to Macon and other places in the South. Finally I was sent to Washington City and at the time Gen. Sheridan made his raids in the Shenandoah valley I was cook and washwoman for his staff I was sent from Virginia to some place in Iowa and afterwards to Jefferson Barracks, where I remained some time. You will see by this paper that on the 15th day of November 1866 I enlisted in the United States army at St. Louis, in the Thirty-eighth United States Infantry Company A, Capt. Charles E. Clarke commanding.” - Cathay Williams, St. Louis Daily Times, January 2, 1876
