| Person-Note* | | G-Great Grandfather
Samuel, as a young boy in Pennsylvania attended an English school, where the teachers spelled his name'Overturf' instead of Oberdorf. This name was carried on thru his life, as when he entered the Army, he entered under the name of Overturf. His four brothers attended a German school and retained the name of Oberdorf.
NOTES FROM GRANDAUGHTER, IVA NEEDHAM BANDY
Grandpa Samuel Overturf gave Grandfather Charley Miller 80 acres if he would move to this county (Butler) from Penn.
Samuel Overturf's moved later, about 20 miles - neighbors to Silas Needham. That is where Helen Overturf met Melville and they were married.
Samuel bought the Miller home place near Aredale.
NOTES FROM GREAT GRANDAUGHTER, VIRGIE BANDY CARROLL
Samuel immigrated from Penn. and settled first in the vicinity of Joliet, Ill. before moving to Iowa.
While they lived in Joliet, Samuel visited the Joliet prison often and read the Bible to the prisoners.
Samuel was a grape grower by trade and soon decided to move to Muscatine County in Iowa.
Sanuel built the first frame house in Pilltown, and the first election was held in that house. This house still stands across the road from the Pilltown cemetery in which Helen, Melville and their son, Lewis along with several other pioneers are buried.
When the house was built, the lumber was hauled by wagon from Cedar Falls, IA to Pilltown. At that time it took about 10 days to make the trip with horses and wagon and now it takes less than an hour by car.
The name of the cemetery was originally called 'Pilltown' cemetery, and later renamed 'Oak Hill Cemetery'.

"THEY USE FIRST SCHOOL AS MUSEUM" - The Register's Iowa News Service
Allison, Iowa -- The Butler County Museum in Allison has it's own historical background. It was the first school house built in Butler County.
In 1860, Sam Overturf, who then lived in Pittsford Township south of Aredale, IA, decided that something had to be done to provide schooling for the children of the pioneer families.
SPECIAL ROOM
Overturf built a special room at his home for school purposes. His daughter, Melissa was the first teacher.
The next year a school was built further west on the south side of the road. This school was later moved to the south west corner of the Uriah Pichard farm. In 1886 the old school house was moved to land granted for school purposes by the George Tallman estate. |

| Person-Note* | | Notes for LEONARD DOYLE:[from the files of Wade Doyle]
Marriage: March 23, 1839, Montgomery Co., Va.22,23
Witnesses: Joseph Eakin
1820 Bedford Co., Southern District, Va. Census, Page 6 , John Burgantine household there are 2 children under 10, one male and one female, 2 males and 2 females between 16 and 26, and 1 female over 45. I think this is John, his wife, and one child ; William and Margaret Doyle and one child ; and Margaret Burgendine, the Mother of John and Margaret.
The interesting thing about Leonard is he was born 1815 when Margaret was 17. ?? Did the War of 1812 play a part here also? Was then one of these children above Leonard? In 1830, Montgomery Co., Va. Census with William F. we find a male 10-15 listed. In 1840 Leonard and William F are listed together. No other Doyle is
there. In 1880 Leonard was widowed and says his Mother was born in Pa. in the Census.
