John T. Struble
John T. Struble (November 5, 1828-November 27, 1916) was a builder and farmer during the formative years of the state of Iowa. He was an older brother of two prominent Iowa politicians: Congressman Isaac S. Struble and Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives George R. Struble.
Except for any financial assistance to his brothers' political campaigns, and his own stint in Johnson County as justice of the peace, Struble was far more the businessman than the politician. His primary contribution as a pioneer of Iowa was to the state's developing economy. Upon his death in 1916, the ''Iowa City Daily Press'' described John T. Struble as a "pioneer loved by all." "Helps build Iowa City," read one of the article's headings.〔"Sudden Death Calls Pioneer Loved By All/John T. Struble in Eighty-Ninth Year, Answers Summons at Country Home/End Comes at Eventide/Without Warning Beloved Citizen Is Stricken; Long and Useful Life Ends," ''Iowa City Daily Press'' (Iowa City IA, 11/28/1916), p. 1. The ''History of Johnson County, 1836-1882'', p. 691 lists W.W. Thompson and J. T. Struble as the two justices of the Peace elected in Scott Township as of 1882. Under the governing state statutes, J.P.'s were county officers elected by the respective townships to two year terms. See ''Revised & Annotated Code of Iowa'', 1880, pp. 84, 162, 590.〕
==Ancestry==
John T. Struble's great-grandfather, Dietrich Struble〔(JOHANN DIETRICH STRUBLE ) at sheckler.bouwman.com〕 (1714–1807), was the progenitor of the Struble family in America. After Dietrich and his wife Elizabeth emigrated from Albig bei Alzey, Germany they tarried for a time in the Netherlands until arranging a relationship of intentured servitude with William Allen (loyalist) of Allentown PA fame. Allen paid the family's passage on the ship, Edinburgh, which landed at Philadelphia in 1748. After working as a stonemason to pay off his indentured debt, Dietrich moved to German Valley, New Jersey (now Long Valley). There he purchased over time from Allen a farm where he and Elizabeth raised their large family. About 1777, however, in order to escape their predominantly loyalist neighbors and more safely support the American Revolution, the Strubles sold the farm and moved some north to Sussex County, NJ.〔''Record of the Descendants of John Struble'' “Taken From A Comprehensive Genealogical Record of the Struble Family in America,” compiled by Uzal H. Struble, Chicago IL between c. 1899-1903; longhand copy in the Tama County Historical Society Museum and Genealogical Library, Toledo IA. Page 2 includes the following account: "At German Valley (NJ) he (Dietrich Struble) ... removed about 1777 or early in 1778 to Smith’s Hill, Sussex Co NJ. The occasion of this removal was that the Revolutionary war developed so that many of Dietrich’s neighbors were Tory in sympathy and made things uncomfortable for the fewer who held sympathy with and gave support to the Continental cause. Dietrich became disgusted with this state of affairs and decided to sell his farm and get among those who felt as he did on the subject. He secured a purchaser who however offered Continental currency in payment. The neighbors told Dietrich that if he accepted it he would never realize anything of value for it, as the colonies would never be able to secure independence, and therefore any 'promises to pay' made by an imaginary government would remain as worthless (or become more so) as it then was. Dietrich’s patriotic ire at these croakers was aroused, and he decided to complete the sale of his farm and get away, and so he accepted the Continental script and received, as it is expressed, 'a whole corn basket full' of it in payment for his farm. The result of the war made Dietrich a wealthy man for those days, and he purchased a large tract of land in Sussex County, which passed to his sons."〕
The Struble children numbered ten sons, of which nine lived to adulthood and married. From this patriarchate, most Strubles in the United States trace their lineage. One of Dietrich's boys, Daniel, served under General Washington at Morristown. Another, John (who is alleged by one biographer to have been born during the Atlantic voyage), begot Isaac Struble, and it was he, Isaac the Elder (1801–1891),〔Isaac the Prsebyterian Elder and his 2nd wife, Emma Teasdale Struble, are buried in the city cemetery in Toledo Iowa. The Tama County Museum, ''ibid''., contains an inspirational eulogy of Isaac the Elder from the ''Toledo Chronicle'', 2 April 1891, p. 5.〕 who led his family on a migration in stages – to more than one location in Virginia (including the future state of West Virginia) beginning in 1839, thence to Knox County, Ohio in 1846, and in 1857 (though with John T. blazing the trail in 1852) to Johnson County, Iowa. Three of Isaac’s twelve children (John T., George R. & Isaac the Younger) were destined to play important roles in the early polity and economy of Iowa.
