JACOB AND MARY Phillips Carnahan, great-great-grandparents of Joe and Steve, came to Iowa from Ohio in 1849. Their first home was at Ivanhoe, south of Mount Vernon. While Jacob served in the Civil War, Mary and their seven children lived at Springville. In 1874, the par-ents and four of the children moved to El Paso County, Co-lo. The children who stayed in Iowa were Mary E., Philo-mela, and John W.
After nearly 35 years of ownership by Joe and Steve Car-nahan, the unique limestone building at 305 Broadway, Springville, went up for sale in mid-January. It was built in 1939, and Carnahans have owned it longer than anyone else. The building could be called “recycled.” The stone and some of the lumber came from Springville’s 1882 high school, razed in fall 1938. These materials were salvaged by Lynn “Skinny” Batchelder, who previously owned an auto repair business on the east side of Broadway (where City Hall stands today). On Oct. 12, 1939, Batchelder held a “big game” supper and dance in his nearly completed garage. Everyone was invited, with farmers asked to bring fish, game, or chicken, and others contributing covered dishes. (The late Merle McGrew, a high school senior then, remembered that dance. He went with Harriett Jacobs, who became his wife after they graduated in 1940.) Lynn Batchelder owned the stone building only about two years. He divorced and remarried, and moved to Arizo-na about September 1941. Roy A. Stambaugh was the next owner. He had worked for Batchelder as head mechanic about 14 years. In June 1945, Stambaugh’s wife Inez died after a long illness. Both sons were in the service; Lowell was home on furlough from the Pacific, and Dale was in Austria. Daugh-ter Susan was still at home.
Stambaugh added an auto showroom in 1948. Springville residents of a certain age remember shiny new cars on dis-play. Miss Jean Safley bought a white 1960 Plymouth with prominent fins and a red interior – not a typical “little old lady” car! In 1950, Stambaugh remarried and moved to California. His sons, Lowell and Dale, were the next owners. Around 1980, Lowell’s son Philip became manager – making three generations of Stambaughs involved in the business. In 1983, the Carnahan brothers became owners. For 20
years before that, they had owned a Shell station and auto
repair business on the northwest corner of Broadway and
First Avenue. Their nearly 55 years in business is some
kind of Springville record!

Historic limestone building to change owners
Springville Area Historical Society (SAHS) will meet Friday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m. in the SAHS building, 304 Broadway. Anyone interested in local history is welcome. Wes Bender, vice president, chaired the Feb. 13 meeting in the absence of president James Crow. Ideas for funding restoration of the Nathan Brown monu-ment were suggested by Kevin Hulett, chairman of the Brown Township Trustees. He said a minimal cemetery levy is being considered to assist the project. Brown was a Revolutionary War soldier. His monument, 132 years old, is in dire condition. SAHS is leading the effort to raise the $34,000 needed for resto-ration. The Springville Opera House, long vacant, continues to attract interest. Owner Jake Hiner has agreed to let Wes photograph the interior. Movies were once shown there, and Dave Kelley said Joe Emmons (1916-1971) was a projectionist. Dave also noted that the American Legion met there before the Legion Hall was built. Treva Davis explained choices and costs for new street banners. SAHS will make a decision at the March 13 meeting. Paul Nielsen displayed a 1945 flight log kept by Rudy Nelson, a former Springville resident who flew World War II bombers. On one run, his plane lost three engines – over Germany, Denmark, and the English coast. He land-ed safely on the one remaining engine. Paul and historian Karen Taylor debated Emil Fevery’s claim that he survived the 1912 sinking of the Titanic. Fevery (1884-1939) lived southwest of Springville in the 1930s. Paul, as a child, was his neighbor. Others present Feb. 13 were secretary-treasurer Jean Schmidt, Dixie Brady, Bev Franks, Rick Heeren, Eleanor Kelley, Don McShane, and Bob and Shirley Parker.
Frank’s life spared, Dr. Love credited
Mary Carnahan McShane, daughter of Jacob and Mary, died Aug. 30, 1881, at 36. She left three children – Fred, 8; Leta, 6; and Mabel, 2. On March 23, 1883, their father, Francis “Frank” McShane was struck in the head by a heavy tree limb. Friends feared he would die. Dr. John S. Love of Springville was called. Frank sur-vived, and said Dr. Love saved his life. But even the doctor couldn’t explain why, for three weeks after the accident, Frank was unable to drink any water.
Furry Friends Fundraiser
In the month of February, we pledged to donate all fines collected to the Cedar Valley Humane Society, as well as collecting free will donations from the community. We wanted to thank all of the patrons who reached out to help, whether you paid a fine, wrote a check, or just gave what-ever you had in your wallet. As of March 1st, fines will no longer be donated but the jar for freewill donations will be located on the circulation desk. We truly love the response we get from our community during these outreach pro-grams, and we are sure the animals will appreci-ate it too. Thank you so much.
