WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN MAQUOKETA

A PHOTO FROM THE PAST....1960
EVERETT SCHOENTHALER WAS A LAWYER IN MAQUOKETA.
STAN BARTON WAS KMAQ'S FIRST NEWS DIRECTOR FROM 1958 TO LATE 1960.
ROBERT MELVOLD WAS PUBLISHER OF THE MAQUOKETA NEWSPAPER.
JOHN JARGO WAS A BANKER.
HARLAN EASTON HAD A GROCERY STORE WHERE KMAQ IS NOW.  I  PURCHASED
THIS BUILDING FROM HIS WIFE IN 1969.
DUD YOCUM  OWNED THE WESTERN AUTO STORE AND SMOKED A PIPE.
HAROLD MILWRIGHT WAS POSTMASTER FOLLOWING OWNING A FARM MACHINERY
BUSINESS DOWNTOWN WHERE MY THEATRE IS NOW.   WALT DOLCH OWNED
THE DOWNTOWN BAKERY AND SERVED ONE YEAR AS PRESIDENT OF THE
AMERICAN BAKER'S ASSOCIATION.    JIM ROUND RAN A SHOE STORE.   HIS
SON NOW LIVES IN RURAL MAQUOKETA.   WHEN STAN BARTON LEFT MAQUOKETA,
I REPLACED HIM ON THE BOARD.    THE MAQUOKETA SALVATION ARMY WAS
THE OLDEST WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.    AFTER IT CLOSED, THE CITADEL
STOOD EMPTY FOR A LONG TIME JUST NORTH OF THE DECKER HOTEL  AND LATER WAS MOVED TO HORSESHOE POND PARK SOUTH OF TOWN AND IS USED NOW
AS A CHURCH.   THE SALVATION ARMY IN MAQUOKETA HAD A BAND AND I

SATURDAY,  AN OPEN HOUSE WAS HELD FOR THE NEW JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES KINGDOM HALL ON WEST PLATT IN MAQUOKETA, ACROSS FROM McDONALD'S.

DIME STORE ON SOUTH MAIN.   IN THE 60'S, A KINGDOM HALL WAS BUILDT

ORIGINAL CEILING WAS THE ONLY PART SAVED.      ALL DONE BY VOLUNTEER
LABOR FROM JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES FROM NINE STATES.    FOOD FOR THE WORKERS
WAS BROUGHT OVER FROM THE JW'S IN SAVANNA.      SAFETY WAS A NUMBER 1 PRIORITY.     ALL 400 VOLUNTEERS WERE REQUIRED TO TAKE A COURSE ON SAFETY.

WINDY SATURDAY DAILY

TODAY WAS THE DEDICATION DAY OF "GABLES" THE DOWNTOWN ART PIECE, DESIGNED BY MAQUOKETA NATIVE AND A VERY RESPECTED ARCHITECT DANIEL CAVEN.   IT WAS A VERY WINDY DAY FOR McTOBERFEST, BUT THERE WAS A NICE
TURNOUT ANYWAY FOR THE EVENT.

SEE "GABLES" IN PLACE AND SAID IT HAPPENED BECAUSE SCHUELLER AND
SONS RECONSTRUCTION TOOK ON THE JOB OF BUILDING "GABLES".   THEY
