Around Iowa Pictures and Pieces of Local History
In Luther College memories, Herbjorn Gaustad’s charcoal sketches endure on walls of a Washington Prairie parsonage room. A wind storm destroyed the Federated Garden Clubs of Iowa champion elm near Quasqueton, measuring 5 1/2 feet in diameter with a 75 foot spread. A Waukon mixup led John Malone to briefly claim another car, corrected after discovering two lookalikes. M H Hill’s hay-stacker rake from 1890 remains in service, with a pine rake tooth worn down over decades. Sumner High School will graduate two sets of twins this year. Sell it through a Want Ad.
