Anvil Quarry Quits After Shifting Stone Contract
The Dickenson-Stark firm of Des Moines abandoned the Coffin quarry east of town after moving to Decorah for a large stone contract. They had planned to macadamize the Montour-Gilman road using Devil's Anvil quarry and a portable crusher but discarded the operation due to stone quality and handling issues. Hauling continues from LeGrand with seven trucks and fourteen drivers under the Montour-Gilman contract.

The Farquhar Homestead Poem by Albert Lindley Beane
A nostalgic portrait of an aging LeGrand area farmhouse named the Farquhar Homestead. The speaker recalls a joyous past housed by a wrinkle of decay, noting two remaining furnishings, a tall clock, lilacs, and ongoing weathering that foretells ruin. The poem laments loss and dreams of restoration fading into a house of dreams.
