Morrison Historical Society Mysteries

Who has a ten-foot, aluminum step ladder in good condition that is not being used? Who is willing to donate this asset to Morrison’s Heritage Museum? Who should you call if you can offer this generous gift? Harvey Zuidema, that is who, at 772-3084. To whom will the Historical Society be grateful? You know who.

Where was the Third Ward School located in Morrison, Illinois? From where did the Historical Society obtain a photograph with this obscure title on the back? Where did the donor find such a title, when no record exists of such a school?

What happened to the Perfect Pocket Irons Manufacturing Company, a factory that was acquired in Davenport, Iowa in 1928? What was the location of this friendly enterprise that made the “Big Dandy” high-grade towel racks and pool table pockets? What do you know about the president, R. A. Norrish, or general manager, M. S. Ackles? What information can you share with Orville Goodenough at 772-4558, regarding people who worked at the factory?

When can you supply this information?

Why not help us solve these community mysteries?
