I GOT ANOTHER EMAIL REGARDING A GROCERY STORE IN BALDWIN,
FROM JEAN SCOTT. IT SAID HER HUSBAND'S FAMILY OWNED THE STORE IN BALDWIN FOR OVER 50 YEARS. HER HUSBAND'S GRANDFATHER, FRED W. SCOTT, STARTED IT IN THE LATE 1800'S AND WHEN HE DIED, IT WENT TO HIS GRANDMOTHER WHO HIRED HER SON (MY HUSBAND'S FATHER) TO MANAGE IT. AFTER MORE THAN 50 YEARS IN THE SCOTT FAMILY, IT WAS SOLD TO THE BOCK BROTHERS IN 1947. JEAN ALSO WROTE THAT SHE HAS PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE STORE BACK WHEN THE STREETS IN BALDWIN WERE DIRT. NOW, ALL I NEED IS TO KNOW WHO THE STORE CLERK IS IN THE PHOTO I PUT UP HERE EARLIER THIS WEEK.
OVER 10,000 CARS DROVE THROUGH THE PARK IN DUBUQUE DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON TO VIEW THE LIGHTS AND DISPLAYS. OVER $96,000 WAS RAISED WITH THE $8 PER CAR FEE AND THE MONEY WILL NOW BE
