Story County, Iowa
Military Eligible 1890

The Iowa Militia Law required counties to report the persons subject to military duty. The 1890 list was transcribed from FamilySearch.org images. (To locate on their site search images for Story, Iowa, United States, select Life Event type Military Service, and from that select Military Record for Story, Iowa, United States 1862–1910. This provides a group of 784 images. The 1890 lists are images number 133–175.)

The 1890 enumeration was certified on December 10, 1890. See 1862 Certification Letter for an example of a certification to the state Adjutant General.

The 1890 military eligible lists contain only the name and location of each person. However, with the 1890 census destroyed and unavailable the names alone may provide important research clues.

That is followed by an alternate source shown in parentheses such as (1885 Census), (Cem Rec) for cemetery record, or (Ed Guess) for educated guess.
• Location: Township or incorporated town name
• Image#: The number of the image in the FamilySearch images from which these were transribed
