Old Wise Home

We have recently learned that a creamery was operated next to this home operated by Mrs. Wise. Any other information would be much appreciated. Blake Rosenlof no longer owns the home that stands there today. The home stood west of the tracks facing east on about 349 North and 5th West. The creamery was a flat front small building much like you see at 249 West Main today (2009).

Hyrum and Adolph Merz donated this carved fountain to the city of Mt. Pleasant in 1909. It was placed in the center of the middle intersection of the older portion of the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. It was then removed and placed on the northeast corner of the Relic Home property.

The placque reads: This Water Fountain was carved from stone from the hills north of Moroni. It was made by Hyrum and Adolph Merz and presented to the City of Mt. Pleasant in 1909.

Old Man Houtz and His Daughter

Carrie and Her Friends

Here are two photos taken from Carrie Hafen's Photo Book. Special mention is made of "Little Annie" because she is the little lady who took over the telegraph office after Wilhemina Ericksen. Little Annie gave Wilhemina a pair of delicate crocheted gloves. These gloves have been passed down to me (Kathy Hafen). They are a real treasure.

Many thanks to Tudy Standlee for this news item !!!
