FULTON, IOWA, ABOUT 9 MILES NORTH OF MAQUOKETA ON THE

WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 61, IS THE BOYHOOD HOME OF RED HINTON.

WHEN HIGHWAY 61 WAS 4-LANED, THE CHURCH WAS IN THE WAY AND

WAS GOING TO BE LOST. HOWEVER, RED AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN

SAVING IT, RAISED FUNDS AND HAD IT MOVED FROM ALONG THE HIGHWAY

TO DOWNTOWN FULTON. A NEW BASEMENT WAS BUILT AND THE OLD

CHURCH WAS PLACED AND REFURBISHED. LOOKS NICE, RIGHT?

THEY NOW HAVE A SERVICE THE 2ND AND 4TH SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH,

AT NEW TIME OF 11 A.M. WITH LUNCH AFTER. NANCY AND I ATTENDED

THE SERVICE THIS MORNING AND ENJOY GOOD FOOD AFTER. THERE

WERE ABOUT 20 PRESENT. THEIR NEXT BIG PROJECT IS TO RAISE MONEY,

ABOUT $5,000, TO PUT ON A NEW ROOF. I CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND

AND YOU ARE WELOME TO DO SO ALSO. DROVE AROUND FULTON AND

IT HAS SOME NICE HOMES, SOME FAIRLY NEW. AND LOTS OF NICE PEOPLE

LIVING THERE.
