BY MIKE AVITT I dont have the date of this photo, but it could be as late as the 1920s. The street seems un-paved which was common up to the 1930s. And the roadside sign seems to say 3. Monroe Street was indeed State Highway 3 until the 1930s although Im convinced this picture was taken before the American Legion took over the building in 1928. The fi rst county jail was built on this same lot about 1876. It was a frame building with two cells and measured 18 x 20. In the early 1890s, this building caught fi re, almost killing a prisoner, and was condemned. County prisoners were sent to Decatur County for incarceration following the closing of our county jail. The Ringgold County Board

of Supervisors cleared the way for a new jail, and James McCombs of Liberty Township was hired to erect a brick and stone building measuring 38 x 27, two stories high. A fi rm from St. Louis, MO was awarded the steel contract, and Mount Ayrs own Curtis R. Keat-ing got the job of equipping the in-terior. Total cost was about $4,200, and the project was fi nished in late summer 1896. On October 8, 1896, Sherman Fowler was the fi rst pris-oner in the new jail. Our current Ringgold County Courthouse was built in 1926-27 and included a new jail on the fourth fl oor. In 1928, the Ringgold County Board of Supervisors sold the old county jail to Ringgold County Post 172 of the Ameri-can Legion. Post 172 occupied the building at 201 East Monroe

Snapshots of History

The old Ringgold County Jail on Monroe Street in Mount Ayr. until their new headquarters were

built southeast of Mount Ayr about 1975. Somewhere along the line, the building was purchased by Leta Jo Davis Farmer Wiseman Ross, more commonly known as Jo Wiseman. I believe the building was owned by her when the old Ringgold County jail was placed on the National Register of His-toric Places on June 19, 1979. This was the fi rst structure in Ringgold County to be placed on the NRHP. There have been fi ve more Ring-gold County buildings added to the NRHP since then. Jim Pedersen bought the build-ing in 1997 and moved his law of-fi ce into the historic edifi ce in 1999. The building is now 117 years old and has never looked better.

She lived there for three and one-half years and really enjoyed the home and all the staff. To her mothers dismay, Cath-erine learned to play the violin instead of learning to play the pi-ano which her mother taught les-sons.

Later Larry Eugene, Ann, John Edward, Harold Dean, Ber-nard Francis, Robert Michael, Rosemary and Doris Marie fi n-ished out the family. Besides rais-ing her family, she also raised a big garden, canning quart after quart of produce and jellies. Catherine enjoyed following all the activi-ties her children and grandchildren were involved in. She was a very active member of the Mount Ayr American Legion Auxiliary. She enjoyed a ladies country neighborhood club that met every month for 60 years. An afternoon enjoyment was having coffee with the 2 oclock coffee club. Catherine was preceded in death by her husband, Bill, of 59 years; parents; parents-in-law; an infant son, Robert; sons-in-law, Jerry Schlapia and William Beech; grandson, Kendall Crawford; four brothers-in-law, and fi ve sisters-in-law.

Patricia lived in Tacoma, Washing-ton for several years. The Tacoma newspaper featured an article on her that highlighted her 17+ years as a Salvation Army volunteer bell ringer. Patricia loved people and, in return, she was loved by every-one. Patricia had lived in Grand River, Iowa and Mount Ayr in the recent years and due to her health declining in her fi nal days, she was cared for in the home of her daugh-ter, Peggy Johnson. Patricia passed away on the evening of July 17, 2013. In addition to her husbands, she was preceded in death by her parents.

Lavon ThomasLAVON THOMAS

Lavon Thomas, of Mount Ayr, Iowa, died after a short illness on July 21, 2013 at Mercy Hospice in Johnston. Narcissus Lavon, named for her grandmother, was born to William and Mary Scott (Richard-son) Burchett on May 1, 1913 in rural Ringgold county, Iowa and was welcomed by four older broth-ers, Charles, Hugh, Cleo and How-ard Burchett. At the age of fi ve, her family moved from the farm into the town of Kellerton. She attend-ed Kellerton schools graduating in 1931. That summer she enrolled in a normal training course in Red Oak and earned a teaching certifi -cate. Her parents moved back to the farm to try to save it from fore-closure, and she taught near there at Shady Grove country school. Shortly after her mothers sudden death in 1932, she stopped teach-ing and began keeping house for her father. She met and fell in love

with Donald Thomas and they were married on March 18, 1936. The stories of their courtship and marriage are some of the familys favorites. Lavon and Donald lived near Hatfi eld, Missouri and Ellston, Iowa before moving to their farm south of Mount Ayr where they raised their three daughters. Lavon loved being a farm wife and moth-er and was never too busy to miss a Saturday night in Mount Ayr, church on Sunday, neighborhood club meetings, card parties with friends or an opportunity to put on her high heels and go to a dance or perform with the Ringgold Sing-ers. She was a member of the Re-bekah Lodge and the First Chris-tian Church. When her daughters became older, she worked part time in the Ben Franklin Store and then at the Shamrock Caf. After Donalds death in 1980, she en-joyed traveling by bus with groups of friends from Bethany, Missouri and Mount Ayr. Survivors include daughters and sons-in-law Judy and Jerry Lee of Ankeny, Iowa, Jinny Tagatz of Des Moines, Iowa and Jill and Gary Davis of Des Moines, Iowa; granddaughters Traci Ross, Jen-nifer (Jim) Campbell, Elizabeth Stephenson, Nicole Ross, Teresa Hutchinson and Carrie (Jim) Sun-derman; great-grandchildren Jessi-ca, Cole and Blake Hulett, Miran-da (Shawn) Hetrick, Jeran Gilge, Jacob and Jack Campbell, Chantel Young, Brenna, Taylor and Emily Stephenson, Ashley Weir, Danielle Wolinski, Jo Stephens, Brianna Hutchinson and Jadyn Sunderman; great-great-grandchildren Hayden Koch, Holden Rettler and May-beline Hulett; sister-in-law Helen Brant; nieces Joy Pierson, Mar-guerite Hecker, Goldie Wilkerson and Vickie Crockett, as well as great-nieces and nephews, cousins, neighbors and friends. Despite living through some of the most diffi cult times in this country, the stories Lavon told of her life were never about hard-ship but were all about fun -- be-ing spoiled by four older brothers, living a charmed childhood in Kel-lerton, enjoying her fi rst away-from-home experience at normal school, riding her horse to her teaching job, fl irting with, courting and marrying Donald, picking and packing fruit in Oregon and Cali-fornia, driving mud roads in Model As, raising three daughters, enter-taining the granddaughters and great-grandchildren, gathering for family reunions and savoring deep friendships. Lavon maintained her own household in Mount Ayr un-til moving nearer her daughters in Des Moines this past October. She enjoyed a full and healthy life and was blessed to be able to celebrate

her 100th birthday with many rela-tives and friends this past May. A memorial fund has been es-tablished for C.W.F. at the Mount Ayr First Christina Church. Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home in Mount Ayr is in charge of the arrangements. Services will be held at the First Christian Church in Mount Ayr on Thursday, July 25, 2013, at 2 p.m. with Rev. Chris Conklin offi ciat-ing. Pianist will be Nancy Sackett. Casket bearers are Jack Camp-bell, Jacob Campbell, Jim Camp-bell, Blake Hulett, Cole Hulett and Jim Sunderman. Burial will be in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Mount Ayr.

Mount Ayr City CouncilProceedings

July 15, 2013 The city council met in regular session on July 15, 2013 with mayor Solliday calling the meeting to order at 6 p.m. Roll call was taken with the following members present: Greene, Mathany, Stutzman, Ricker, Cannon. Absent: None. A motion was made by Cannon, seconded by Mathany, to approve the agenda. Ayes: Greene, Mathany, Stutzman, Ricker, Cannon. Nays: None. Mayor Solliday asked if any cor-rections needed to be made in the minutes. With no corrections being made, a motion was made by Matha-ny, seconded by Greene, to dispense the reading of the minutes previously presented to council members and approve them as presented. Ayes: Greene, Mathany, Stutzman, Ricker, Cannon. Nays: None. This being the time and place specifi ed for holding the public hear-ing and taking action on the proposal to enter into a Water Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement, the city clerk announced that no written objections had been placed on fi le. Whereupon, the mayor called for any written or oral objections, and there being none, the mayor declared the public hearing closed. On the matter of the Water Booster Station Project, Jason Mill-er with MSA Professional Services reported the construction contract would begin with the notice to pro-ceed signed at this time giving the contractor 210 days to get everything up and running. Specifi c procedures will be im-plemented when placing the new meter which will guarantee no boil order is required. Miller pointed out that, if any problems arose from equipment and materials being stored on the construction site, they would be addressed directly. Super-intendent Wise stated research into the operational status of about eight shutoff valves in the project area is needed and options for the Marvin Main connection will be presented to the council before a decision on the manner in which to move forward on that situation is made. After due consideration and dis-cussion, council member Mathany made a motion, seconded by council member Ricker, to approve Reso-lution No. 2013-525 Taking ad-ditional action to enter into a Water Revenue Loan and Disbursement Agreement. Roll call vote: Greene, Yes; Math-any, Yes; Stutzman, Yes; Ricker, Yes; Cannon, Yes. A motion was made by Cannon, seconded by Mathany, to approve Resolution No. 2013-526 Providing for the issuance of General Obliga-tion Solid Waste Disposal Refund Bonds, Series 2013, and provid-ing for the levy of taxes to pay the same. Roll call vote: Greene, Yes; Math-any, Yes; Stutzman, Yes; Ricker, Yes; Cannon, Yes. A motion was made by Mathany, seconded by Stutzman, to approve Resolution No. 2013-527 entitled, A Resolution To Approve And Adopt The Ringgold county Hazard Mitigation Plan Of 2013-2018. Roll call vote: Greene, Yes; Math-any, Yes; Stutzman, Yes; Ricker, Yes; Cannon, Yes. Superintendent Wise Report: Within the next two weeks Garfi eld Street improvements to get under-way once the telephone utility gets moved; purchased 2009 Ford F250 after several months of searching; Jeff Sickels Dozing to take care of storm water problem on W. Colum-bus Street; Garbage route is going well after two weeks in operation.

In other discussion, council-man Greene inquired about having businesses utilize the citys garbage service. Wise reported 10 two-yard

dumpsters have been ordered and rates have been established. It was also pointed out there have been re-quests from people outside the city limits to get garbage service. City at-torney Richard Wilson advised that in those cases the city should consid-er charging different rates than city limits customers pay. A motion was made by Mathany, seconded by Ricker, to approve the treasurers report. Ayes: Greene, Mathany, Stutzman, Ricker, Cannon. Nays: None. A motion was made by Stutzman, seconded by Ricker, to pay the fol-lowing bills: Ayes: Greene, Mathany, Stutzman, Ricker, Cannon. Nays: None.
