Maple Grove improves two miles of road with community effort
Ko Yosick Brothers shipped a car of Duroc hogs via Farmer's Union. In Washington county two miles of the worst road were transformed into a fine stretch after farmers donated labor and teams. The work began with ditching and grading in September and culminated with multiple passes of road dragging. Community spirit and road tax support powered the project despite initial funding gaps. Sunday sermons cited open doors from Revelation, while illness struck two local men, Howard Ayers and L. E. Edmonson.
