River voyage ends with boat traded for motor plans
Edgar Hansell and Ronald Fisher, two young men from Leon, traveled from Ottumwa on the Des Moines to the Mississippi at Keokuk. They traded boats three times, now own a fifteen by five and a half foot craft, and plan to motorize it in St. Louis. In Quincy they rode the mayor’s private yacht and report friendly river greetings and up to 75 miles daily.
