Learner Leeds Trout1,2 [Colonel Trout2,3].
Born Sep 17 1854, Highland County, Ohio.4,5 Parents: Morris Trout & Elizabeth Leeds.2,5
The nickname "Colonel", which was so consistently used that it essentially became his actual name, comes from Civil War time when a cavalry colonel was camped at the the young boy's family home. According to family legend, he had the daily chore of riding the colonel's horse to water at the nearby creek. Neighbors and friends, seeing the tiny figure perched atop the cavalry charger, got to calling out "Hi, colonel". The name stuck for the rest of his life.2
When Learner was 5 his father was killed in an accident at a logging camp in Ohio. Sometime in 1868 the family, now headed by mother Elizabeth (Leeds), moved to a farm near Kellogg, Jasper County, Iowa.2

Daughter Zella only lived 6 months: she was taken to her grandmother's funeral in late Feb 1888 on a cold & miserable day, and the exposure caused her to develop croup, which eventually choked her to death before they could make the 5 mile drive to the doctor in town.2
Colonel Trout was a farmer, first on a farm near Kellogg, Iowa, then on a place east of Newton, Iowa. Rhoda's uncle Zimri, a bachelor, and her two old-maid aunts, Asenath & Serena, lived together on a nearby farm. Rhoda inherited from them the money to build the family home on the farm near Newton in 1894.2
They retired from farming about 1925 and moved to a house in Newton, leaving Cecil, the older of their two sons, on the home place. Cecil bought the farm from the other heirs soon after Rhoda's death. In 1976 he sold the farm to his son Leslie. A new house was built in 1977.2
