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.
