Ice Harvest Remembered From Washington's Old Home Town
Don Ross of Des Moines recalls the old ice harvest near Townsley Park in Washington. Workers cut 200 pound blocks from Cherry and Jugenheimer ponds using a horse plow and saws, packed with sawdust in an icehouse, then hauled by ice wagon to town customers. Children rode the wagon, drank meltwater, and recalled clean streams before modern refrigeration.
