Iowa genweb
STUART. Lies two-thirds in Guthrie and one-third in Adair county, on the I. div. of the C. R. I. & P. Ry, and is the terminus of the Guthrie branch and the main divisional station of the road in Iowa. The workshops of the company cover 20 acres and 350 men are employed, upwards of $20,000 being paid out monthly, which adds considerably to the welfare of the town. It was laid out in 1869, and incorporated in 1877. The population may be said to number 2,500. Stuart is distant 215 miles from Davenport, 40 from Des Moines and 18 from Guthrie Center (c h). The chief business features of the town are 2 banks, a brewery, 2 large grain elevators, and carriage and wagon shops. There are 3 weekly newspapers published, of which the Stuart Ledger is a 9 column folio, having a circulation of over 1,300, and is the best advertising medium in Guthrie, Adair, Dallas or Madison counties. There are 2 fine 3-story brick school buildings, and 6 churches, comprising the Catholic, Medhodist, Baptist, Congregational, Quaker and Christian denominations. An immense quantity of corn is raised in the neighborhood, as much as 500,000 bushels sometimes being in crib at this point at one time. This, with live stock, forms the chief shipment. Stages run to Panora and Greenfield daily; fare $1.50. Exp., U. S. Tel., W. U. Mail daily. Wm. P. Moulton, postmaster.

History of Guthrie and Adair, Iowa:
D. L. Chantry
D. L. Chantry is a native of Chester county, Pennsylvania, having been born there March 16, 1836. His father was born in England, his mother in Chester county, Pennsylvania. His grandparents were followers of William Penn, and settled with him at the time of his settlement at that place. He lived on a farm in the eastern part of that county until coming to Guthrie county, in 1855, settling in Thompson township, where he took up forty acres of land, and afterward bought 500 acres. He lived there from 1855 to 1875, with the exception of the summer of 1864, when he enlisted in Company C, 46th Iowa infantry. In 1875, D. L. bought the mill property of John Pearson, and moved to Penn township, where he owns 172 acres of land. He was married on the 29th of January, 1865, to Miss Margaret Pearson, a daughter of John Pearson. They have ten children.

I was browsing the Fall River County, SD website and found your query on the Chessmans.  The March family lived in Hot Springs.  Cyrus Eli March was married to Clarissa Sydney Chessman, m. 12 Feb 1896 in Hot Springs, Fall River, SD.  (b. 23 Dec 1875, Stuart, Guthrie, Iowa, dau. of John L. Chessman and Sarah Pearson).  Maybe that will help you.  Laurie Jensen (They thanked me)
