About Dixie Cornell Gebhardt
- Dixie Cornell Gebhardt (November 18, 1866 – October 16, 1955) was a state regent and secretary of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Iowa during World War I, and designed the flag for the state of Iowa.At the beginning of the war, Iowa had no state flag, and such a flag would have been expected to be carried by regiments from that state.
- (As the war progressed, however, it became obvious that regiments comprising men from individual states would no longer be formed.) Gebhardt's flag design was chosen from among several submissions by Governor William L.
- Harding and the Iowa Council on National Defense.
- It became the official flag of the state in 1921.
