The Rocking Chair Brigade's Figure Passes at Bettendorf
The death of T. J. Easter at the Masonic home in Bettendorf removes an interesting figure. Though inactive recently, he remained curious about Washington and had a notable 1939 Iowa City operation. He had asked his daughter Beulah Coward of Florida to rent him a small furnished apartment nearby so he could walk down daily.
