Winders was sold. He was pretty much a "Pack" man from that moment. But it was 1938, some of the leanest years of the Depression. Jobs were scarce, and the work available didn't pay much. So landing a spot at the higher- wage meatpacking plant seemed a dream for the young man. Winders got his foot in the door helping out one of the meat peddlers on his rural Du- buque County route. "I got $1 a day, plus my dinner," recalled the 85-year- old Dubuque man. It wasn't an extravagant wage, but it was work. The job served to ceplent Winders' life plan. In the fall after he graduated from high school, Winders landed a job slicing cube steaks and eventu- . ally worked his way into the coveted ped- dIer's position at the growing 16th Street fac- tory. That's where he would stay for the next 43 years, the en- Gene Winders tirety of his adult working life. "I had a very good job, and I made very good money," Winders said. "I couldn't have done better." Winders' story is, or was, shared by thousands of workers like him. In its heyday, the Pack was the place .to work, second only in size to John Deere Du- buque Works but comparable in wages and benefits. Dubuque meats put the city on the map, a name and a product recognized around the world. Production hummed, the company's profits soared and the workers shared in that success, thanks to a strong union. But those days are long gone. The smell of the slaughter- house no longer permeates the city like an industrial cologne. The long-idle plant, to those who spent their working lives there only to be pushed out the door, might seem more like a ghost town or a tombstone, marking the end of a proud era never to return.

SA TELEGRAPH HERALD SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2005 TRI-STATE FDL 'changed the working climate Continued from Pege 1A Pack's passing. "It was alive and things were happening.,We did things there, and we were very proud of our affiliation, with the (Dubuque) Packing Co." As the facaity faces the wrecking ball to clear the way for a planned shopping center, the Telegraph Herald takes a look back at the Pack's rise, its golden years and its prolonged collapse in a changing meat- packing industry. . , The birth of the Pack , Old Dubuque meatpacking lore suggests there once were two family-owned plants on ei- ther side of 16th Street, but there wasn't enough stock for both to exist. The families flipped a coin, and one stayed in Dubuque and the other moved to Waterloo, Iowa, to launch what would become Rath Packing Co. Legend aside, the Dubuque Packing Co. was forged out of an 1891 merger between the Dubuque Butchers Association and the Dubuque Packing and Provision Co. - a partnership worth about $50,000 in capital. The small factory was a precedent setter in the early 20th century. It was the first completely steel and concrete facility built west of the Mis- sissippi, according to company history. The plant would remain a relatively small-scale operation Until the early days of the Great Depression, when Harry Wahlert purchased it from the Christian Schmitt family for $180,000. Wahlert would quickly transform the factory into one of the busiest kill-and- cut operations in the nation. 'It just got bigger' Wahlert wasted no time in building his new enterprise, as- sisted by his nephew R.C. Wahlert. . Winders said the plant em- ployed about 150 people when se started working there, less than a decade after Wahlert tpok it over. As the world be- eame immersed in war, the plant's output swelled and, consequently, so did its work force. .... '~s World War II started, we aid a lot of lend/lease work, sending meat to Russia and elsewhere around the world," Winders recalled. He remembers when the TH. Tensions between labor and management at the packing plant ran high at times, Including 1983, when union mem- bers picketed what they considered a lockout. plant celebrated its first 500 hog-kill day. Things would.get a lot busier in the coming years. "It just got bigger and bigger," said Jerome Tigges, of Dubuque. Tigges, 79, took a job at the factory in 1943, but he left after being drafted a few months later. After the war, he worked a couple of other jobs before returning to the pack- inghouse in 1951. He remamed until retiring in 1988. ".When I went back, it was going good. It was big," Tigges said. By the 1960s, the work force was at nearly 3,500. In the 1970s, the Pack grew to be the 15th largest private company in the United States. It processed 9,000 hogs daily. Em- ployees enjoyed prosperity and job security as the payroll soared to $20 million: "They used to have lines from the (plant's) office all the way up to the railroad tracks when people heard they were hiring at the Pack," said Jim Crippes, 67, of Dubuque. Crippes, like so many others, took a job at the plant right out of high school and worked there until it closed down for good five years ago. He did everything from scraping an- imal entrails to moving meat in the coolers. "It really was the place to work," he said. "It was hard work, but you got paid good for it so you didn't mind." Hard times Just as the labor-intensive work took its toll on the bodies of workers, the high interest rate climate and cutthroat competition of the meat- packing business crippled many of the major players hi the industry. By 1978, the company said it lost $4.8 million, and it noted a $6 million loss the following year. The Dubuque Packing Co., which had traditionally met its union's wage demands, asked organized labor to take some concessions. The union budged, but it wasn't enough. In 1981, the facility's hog kill operation shut down at a toll of 1,400 jobs. Union workers agreed to a 15.8 percent pay cut to keep the plant open, and the city chipped in with property tax relief and other assis- tance. BobW.hlert Just as the Pack seemed to be crumbling, Bob Wahlert, R.C. Wahlert's son and long- time financial officer for the company, bought the opera- tion and changed its name to FDL Foods. It was a plant-saving move, but it came at a huge cost for the workers. Wahlert cut hourly wages from more than $10 to $6 and gave management much more control over the plant's destiny. While he took plenty of heat, Wahlert said the decisions were grounded in the real world of an evolving meatpacking trade. . This year, . summer IS our treat. He said non-union operations like IBP drove wages down and made it harder for the industry stalwarts to compete. "It used to be you could work in a meatpacking plant, pay for your house, raise your kids, send them to college and be proud of it," he said. "That all changed when IBP caine along." Eventually, however, FDL would be courted by its nemesis in a buyout deal that turned sour and had to be set- tled by the courts. Wahlert said FDL was further weakened by strikes. The plant's work force continued to shrink. "There was a lot of friction," Crippes recalled. "When FDL opened up ... it changed the working climate. It just changed." Fresh start, final curtain In 1996, Farmland Foods Inc. purchased the plant, after previously bowing out of the deal. The acquisition was fa- cilitated by hefty local and state incentives. A year after the FDL workers were laid off, Farmland opened and re- sumed operations in Sep- tember 1996. The new owner pumped in millions to upgrade the facility and boost production. "They kept speeding every- thing up, and making bigger workloads," Tigges recalled. "It was tough." As Wahlert put it, the meat- packing industry was one of the first to mechanize but one of the last to automate. When automation arrived, it deci- mated the work force and drove down the once enviable pay scale. By 2000, Farmland was facing financial problems. The troubled cooperative, to the surprise of many, brokered a deal to sell the Dubuque op- eration to Smithfield Foods Inc. The Virginia-based hog- processing giant closed on the deal in June, and the plant shut down again - this time forever. The last 1,100 workers were sent home, never to re- turn. Winders said he remembers crying the day the old Pack closed. "It was a shock to me," he said. "I always felt Dubuque really had something. I just couldn't see anything bad hap- pening to it." Out with the old... At first, it looked like the nation's largest pork processor would sell its Du- buque plant td the world's largest retailer. But public op- position to Wal-Mart's plan to build a "supercenter" at the site of the 30-acre factory effectively ended that poten- tial. Smithfield earlier this year sold the property to Du- buque-based Highway 151 & 61 Development for $3.4 mil- lion. The local investment group plans to tear down the packinghouse and build a 250,000-square-foot shop- ping center. Demolition is under way. Longtime Pack workers like Dick Wertzberger aren't too sen- timental about the re- D. Wertzllerger moval of the plan t. . "They're gone, so now isn't the time to sit there and cry in your beer. It's time to do something about it," said Wertzberger, who spent 34 years at the facility, as a la- borer and in management. "That plant is too old. It will never be a factory again." Wahlert said he's happy to see the building go, and a higher use move in. While he said he misses the people that made the plant what it was, he doesn't miss the meatpacking business at all. "It has gotten so dastardly in the last 15 years, it wasn't fun any more," the former owner said. "We were trying to hold on while the rest of the industry was collapsing around us."

Its inspiration was a Johnny Paycheck song and some insist the most human performance of the feature-length film came from a 4x4 monster truck dubbed "Bigfoot." Perhaps most gallingly to the people it was supposed to depict, "Take This Job and Shove It" made Dubuquers appear to the rest of the world like nothing more than beer- swilling, mud-chucking hicks who, for some strange reason, spoke with southern accents. "It is cheesy," said Schmitt, who led the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce in the summer of 1980, when film crews landed in the city to begin production on "Shove It." But cut through the silliness, Schmitt and others say, and you'll find a film that seemed to be a documentary of Dubuque and towns like it, on the vergeof~~onomic tailspin.

Labor ITlJt~ Key departures from the AFL-CIO could help or hurt union movement By STEVEN THOMMA Knight Ridder News Service CHICAGO - Already in a downward spiral, the American union movement emerged last week from a pivotal confronta- tion with its future even more in doubt. A bitter clash of personalities and agendas split labor into rival camps, as two big unions broke from the AFL-CIO to start their own federation, the Change to Win Coalition. At least two more unions - the United Food and Commercial Workers and Unite Here, a union of hospitality and textile workers - could break away as well. That would cost the AFL-CIO about a third of its 13 million members and strain its budget. The coalition already has had to layoff a quarter of its Wash- ington staff. The dissidents who left and some analysts said the split wowdsparkcompetition, anew devotion to unionizing and eventually more clout to help working people at the work- place and in politics. "Our goal is not to divide the labor movement, but to rebuild it," said Andy Stern, the presi- dent of the Service Employees International Union, the coun- try's largest union and the ftrst to bolt the AFL-CIa. The other was the Teamsters. But other union presidents called the move a power grab by Stern, 54, whom they cast as a one-time protege eager to oust his former mentor, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, 71. That weakens labor, hurts friendly Democrats and helps President Bush and anti-labor politics, they said.

Schmitt said the discord permeated local government's response to the economic problems. "There were flavors of the labor-management friction at the City Council table that, I think, often clouded some decision making," the former chamberctUefsaid. Different days A quarter-century after the cameras rolled on "Shove It," Dubuque, in many respects, is a different place. Most notably, the economy has diversified. better insulating itself from economic downturns. The manufacturing sector, representing 35 percent of Dubuque County's work force in 1980, is less than half that size today. Service sector jobs now dominate the local economy, but many of those positions pay less than did Dubuque'S industrial base during the zenith of manufacturing. The prolonged recession of OOllll\,;un ......-J Today, Dubuque's economy often is viewed as a comeback story. The city has invested tens of millions in transforming its riverfront from an industrial center to a tourism playground. A diverse lineup of business _ from the local casino trade to customer service and biotech - is redefining the old blue-collar town of "Take This Job and Shove It." Last year, Dubuque County's average unemployment rate was 4.7 percent, less than the national average and among the lowest metropolitan rates in the state. More than 49,000 residents were working, compared to 41,900 at the economic low point in 1984. Pratt says the real driver of Dubuque's "resurrection" was the willingness of business and union leaders to work together "because ttUs was their home. It wasn't just a place to live, it was THE place to live."

Frederick Wtlhelm Kaltenbach was born to German immigrant parents in Dubuque in 1895, and was raised in Waterloo, where his father worked as a butcher. In 1914, Kaltenbach visited Germany shortly before World War I began. Arrested on spy charges, he was released and returned to Iowa. After three years of college at, Grinnell, he left to serve in the Coast Guard Artillery services and was discharged as a lieutenant. He earned his bachelor of arts degree at Iowa State Teachers College and later was granted a master's degree at the University of Chicago. Returning to Iowa, he taught at Manchester and then came to Dubuque's Senior High School in 1931 to teach business law, economics and coach the debate team. Kaltenbach lived atthe YMCA and goose-stepped to Senior High every morning and back in the afternoon. Each summerhetravcled to Germany and, in time, fell under the OUR WORLD spell of the fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, gobbling up the "hew facist philosophy and beliefs." By 1934, he organized a group of young students in Dubuque, outside the school's regular activities, and called them the Militant Order of Spartan Knights. He insisted that each wear a brown shirt and learn how to use .22 caliber rifles for target practice. Often he would lecture the "Knights" about the evils of the American free: enterprise system. The parents of the involved boys grew concerned about his club's motives and complained to Charles Landon, of the American Legion. He arranged an opportunity for the teacher to "air his views" at a Legion meeting. Soon into his address, a virtual riot broke out and he barely escaped with his life. In the spring of 1935, Kaltenbach received a terse letter from the Board: "The board n. did not re-elect you for the school year, 1935-1936 n." Shortly thereafter, he left Dubuque for Germany. By 1936, he had enrolled at the University of Berlin and worked on his Ph.D. Completely consumed:by Hitler~s twisted ideas and philosophy, he joined Joseph Goebbels' propaganda staff after being married. In 1939, he returned to Waterloo to visit his dying father, gave an inflammatory presentation at the Rotary Club and returned to Germany. Kaltenbach, known as "Lord Hee- Haw" by the British, broadcast propaganda during World War II, often referring to Iowa. In 1943, he was indicted by the District of Columbia's Grand Jury, along with seven other American traitors, for treason in absentia. 01 June 14, 1945, he was arrested by Russian troops and put in a camp. Mer eight months of exchange negotiations, the Russians admitte they didn't know where Kaltenbacl was. He apparently died in Octobe 1945 in a Russian detention camp. On April 13, 1948, the treason' charges against him were dropped because of his death, and he was Sl forgotten. His action in the 1930s a , 40s are only a blot in Dubuque's history.

In 1880 he lived on Washington Street and was listed as a watchmaker, but by 1901 he was a jeweler who had moved "up" to Madison building trade. He worked in Russia, Hamburg, Berlin, and Leipzig before moving to Chicago in 1869. While working for Coan and Ten Broecke Carriages, he joined a westward-bound colony. They settled in Colfax, Colo., but he lost everything in the venture. His return to Chicago was disrupted by the Great Fire of 1871, so attempting to change his luck he moved to Dubuque. He worked at the Thomas Connolly Co. for seven years as the foreman of the wood departlnent. The company built carriages, buggies and sleighs. He opened a very successful shop on Clay Street. He was considered "one of the best skilled and finest workmen in the city". From 1333-1337 Clay St., the Kleih Hardware store specialized in stoves, seeds, harnesses and general hardware. The building is gone, making way for the new elementary school, but until recently the stained glass Kleih sign was visible in the front of the three-story brick building. George Kleih had worked as a harness maker for Pfersch Co. on 6th Street, while his brother ToM was a tinner for the J. Maclay. They both lived in the Jefferson House at 7th and White streets until their business was established. The Zieprecht Building, formerly the Walsh Store, and presently the Dubuque Bank and.Trust offices, was home to Dr. William Zieprecht and the Zieprecht Pharmacy. Joseph and George Baumgartner established a carpenter shop on White Street. George Schafihauser and sons operated the St. George Hotel and saloon at 576 Clay Street. The same property had been operated as the,Baden House in 1880. He had gotten an introduction in the business by operating and living above the Kimmerle and Schafthauser Boarding House and Saloon at 7th and Iowa streets.

By 1925, he was a real estate and insurance agent. He was also involved in the German Trust and Savings Bank, the New Harmony Rooming House, and the Union Hotel. William and nephew Samuel operated the Muntz Nursery on Jackson Street. Samuel was born at Stonehill, Dubuque, County. At 15, he entered his father's nursery business. The Dubuque County History book stated that he "developed a mud hole into tp,e finest nursery in the city." He married Nettie M. Thompson in 1898. Erhart and Christina Muntz founded the family when they married and moved to Dubuque in 1852. Christina's obituary in the Telegraph Herald (1906) carried the headline: "Pioneer Market Woman Is Dead."

They were diamond hardened and came in walking and sulky models. Along with cultivators, harrows and road scrapers, their celebrated Norwegian plow gained the most attention of all the company's products. The name of the manufacturer was Norwegian Plow Co. of Dubuque, whose boast was: "None but First Class Material used." (sic) Incorporated in 1879 in Dubuque, the company's president was George B. Burch. G. W. Mitchell served as secretary and treasurer. The Norwegian Plow Co. was well promoted and, by 1884, was a top competitor with John Deere in Moline, Ill.; The Moline Plow Co. and J. Thompson and Sons of Beloit, Wis. All four manufactured farm implements including a self-scouring plow. Other than the aforementioned products, the Dubuque company also manufactured and highly promoted sleighs, carriages, Newton wagons and "Tornado" feed cutters. Offices and well-trained salesmen were established across the United States. Business was so good the Dubuque-based company operated year round. On occasion, it even had its 150 employees, some of whom were highly skilled, work overtime. In addition, nine traveling salesmen were regularly employed to help increase sales and to "pump up" the sales personnel of the regional offices. The nine salesmen opened new territories, as well. The John Deere Co. had product name problems with the Moline Plow Co. Customers usually confused the two, and while "Moline Plow" had never appeared on a plow, both companies used the words freely in advertising. When Deere attempted to claim "Moline Plow" for its products, Illinois Supreme Court Justice Sidney Breese said that John Deere could not reserve the word "plow," since it is a generic term, nor could it exclusively use "Moline." John Deere's leaping deer over a log was officially registered in 1876. By 1884, Moline Plow Co. advertised its new three-wheel sulky plow as "The Flying Dutchman." While all four of the firms made self-scouring plows, J. Thompson and Sons was more subtle in taking exception to its competition, apparently Dubuque's Norwegian Plow Co. Consider the wording of an 1884 advertisement of the Thompson firm. "Manufacturers of the CELEBRATED NORWEGIAN PWWS." That sound familiar? The bottom of the ad, a caveat emptor appeared: "Because of the good reputation our goods have obtained ... many unscrupulous manufacturers have adopted trademark 'Norwegian.'" The ad warned people not l mistake those cheap imitatiOl their products. The Dubuque and the Beloit firm's ads appe the same publication in 1884. Mark lWain was given a hig pressure sales pitch by a NolV Plow Co. representative. lWail recalled how the salesman inf him that farmers who knew h plow used a Norwegian plow, confidently stated that if a riv; was proven to be as good, he ~ eat it without Worcestershire ~ "flavor it up." Eventually John Deere won still exists today as a world-wi business entity. Aninn to rest in Pin Oak Tavern served many weary travelers in 1800s Born in Kentucky in 1800, a very young John H. Floyd served in the army during the War of 1812. He assisted escorting British officers from Lake Erie to Chillicothe, Ohio, after the British defeat on Lake Erie. He moved to Illinois in 1814, Wisconsin in 1828 and arrived in Dubuque in April 1833. Settlers had attempted to move into the Indian lands west of the Mississippi River for years. The army's job was to drive them out. Floyd and his friend Thomas McCraney were among the earliest. When McCraney refused to leave, the army destroyed his cabin. After the Black Hawk Purchase following the Black Hawk War of 1832, the area opened to legal settlement in June of 1833. McCraney made his fortune selling the land from Eighth to 12th Street, from Main Street to the bluff, while Floyd explored the mines of Durango, or Timber Diggings as it was known. He returned to Dubuque and helped set the logs for the Bell Tavern, Dubuque's first, in 1833. But, he soon left the city again for the rich farm lands to the west. In Section 20 of Concord Township he built a cabin and established his farm.

He returned to Dubuque and helped set the logs for the Bell Tavern, Dubuque's first, in 1833, But, he soon left the city again for the rich farm lands to the west. In Section 20 of Concord Township he built a cabin and established his farm. Eventually he owned 600 acres and became one of the wealthiest early settlers in Dubuque County. . That first winter he lived in his cabin with no doors. He had purchased the planks to make doors but he used them to make a coffin for the horse thief, KentuckAnderson, who was shot on the streets of Durango by Adam Sherrill. , In 1835 he returned to Kentucky to marry his childhood sweetheart, Sarah Wathen. They would have five children. One of the daughters attended the Lincoln - Douglas debates in Freeport, Ill. There she shook the hand of another man from Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln. There is an undocumented rumor that Lincoln once stayed at the Pin Oak Tavern. Anyone who wanted to purchase land in Minnesota had to come to the land office in Dubuque. Since the Floyd cabin was located on the main route to the northwest, travelers began stopping almost immediately. The cabin remained both a home and an inn until 1849 when a larger structure was built. The original cabin had two rooms with a connecting runway - the same design as the cabin on exhibit at the Ham House. The new inn or Western Inn had three stories. A huge kitchen/ dining area with a fireplace for heat and cooking occupied the first floor along with a storage area. A two-story porch ran the entire length of the building. , Bishop MatthiasLoras stayed at the inn while he. traveled the wilderness to establish thl'J Roman. .~. Catholic diocese. The original road to Dubll;que from the north was little more than a path, so Floyd and an unnamed Indian laid out the path of a road tbat went through Sageville on its way to Dubuqu.e. Remnants of this road are still visible in the brusH and woods. Bouncing along 20 miles of this roil-din a stagecoach mllst have made the Pin Oak Tavern a welcome site indeed. Once the railroad penetrated the frontier, the inn's usefulness to travelers ended, however, it continued to operate as a post office with Floyd as postmaster for 40 years. He built the first p()st;Qffice in one of the pin oak trees using shelves in~e .. trunk for the mail and a rough-hewnoa}(slab as a door. Floyd's Tavern, the Pin Oakl'avern,anqthe Western Inn were allnamesofthesame. establishment. The name Pin Oakrefert~p,to the oak trees whose "branches grewpiIi like. fashion into the heart of the tree." '. " Despite these name changes, one thing always remained constant - hospitality withQut a.be'lr, Mr. Floyd was a prohibitionist ora "dry". Despite being in the minority among the "wets", he never allowed liquor to be sold in his tavern. Later the Holy Cross Creamery was built on the site of the Pin Oak spring house, and the inn became a private residence. The nearby settlement of Georgetown, named for George Gallein who owned a farm there, became Holy Cross when the residents chose to honor the construction of the town's Catholic Church. The structure fell into disrepair but was saved -from the wrecking ball by the efforts of its present owners, Don and Janet Schmitt who restored it to a state of elegance and have made both the structure and its history a labor of love. We still follow the same favorite route to St. Paul but we no longer need to stop for rest every 20 miles. The next time you drive north, let your imagination roam to those long ago travelers and an inn that offered them rest, food, and hospitality.

Within The Gates: The Linwood StO'YYs I~, - - ::-.;"'" ~ ~~~~t~~~~eWar OJ and James and D Lucius built the Ir."': Military Road from Dubuque to Iowa City and founded the town of Langworthy. Lucius and Edward served in the Territorial Legislature and Edward was a member of the Iowa Territorial Constitutional Convention. All were enterprising; Lucius became a director of two railroads. Solon made and lost several fortunes in various businesses and all of the brothers built mansions. for them- selves, placing them so that together they formed a large L. Three survive today, the octagon house built by Edward on West 3rd Street which was designed by Francis Hague, himself a dis- tinguished Dubuquer and one who is buried not far from the Langworthys. The second home built by Solon is on Alpine and faces east. James Langworthy built "Ridgemount" on the comer of Langworthy and James Streets. It was tom down to make way for a parking lot. Lucius' home is still standing at 205 Hill Street. A modem house has been built around it: a house with- in a house. They all are buried at Linwood. Tom Kelly, born in Ireland in 1808, mined here when it was Indian Territory and white men were prohibited. He did not think a great deal of bankers and buried his money. Various caches have been found on Kelly's Bluff, where he lived and mined, in amounts up to $10,000, but the iron chest he had made by a Rockdale blacksmith has never been found. Kelly died in 1867, a loner to the end, and is buried here in Linwood. Nancy M. Hill was easily the most remark- able woman in Dubuque. A civil Was nurse, she became one of America's first women doc- tors, no mean acComplishment for that time, and she did so at 41 years of age, graduating in 1874. She practiced medicine in Dubuque for 36 years and organized the Women's Rescue Society to care for unwed mothers and their babies. The organization later became known as the Hillcrest baby Fold and eventuall' as Hillcrest Family Services. She died in 1919, a pioneer in her profession and a beloved and exceptional figure. . Buried in Linwood are those who dreamed dreams but none dreamed more greatly, or more disastrously, than John Plumbe, Jr. Born in Wales the same year as Lincoln, in 1809, he was the first per- son to propose a trans-con- tinental railroad. In 1838 he was able, almost single- handedly, to persuade Congress to authorize the survey of "steam commu- nications between the extreme East and far West." He came to Dubuque in 1836 and founded the town of Sinipee above the dam, which he regarded as the point where the future railroad would cross the river. The project died aborning. Plumbe went on to become one of the earliest photog- raphers, using a process he called a Plumbetype, and soon claimed studios in 13 cities. He used his photography profits to finance his efforts for the trans-continental railway, but in 1849 he gave up his business and went to the California gold strike, on the way making survey notes for the railroad, which remained his dream. Disillusioned, he returned to Dubuque in 1856, having received little support for his dream, and lived with his brother who ran a temperance hotel at 14th and Iowa, where one May morning in 1857 he cut his throat. John E. Finley was born in North Carolina in 1807, came to Dubuque in 1840 and died here in 1877. Here he practiced medicine, except when he was a Civil War surgeon. He lived in a large home near the site of the Finely Hospital, and upon his widow's death in 1833 the house was donated to the new hospital which was to bear his name, and the house itself became the first hospital building of Finley. .Mathias Ham, a Tennessee-born in 1805, fought in the Black hawk War and was later described by a contemporary as "a solitary and energetic figure." He was variously a steamboat captain, miner, smelter, builder, railroad promoter, and cabbage king. His mansion remained after he lost his wealth, and it is one of the historic homes open for visitors. Stephen Hempstead came to Dubuque from the East in 1836, fought as an artillery officer in the Sac and Fox War, afterward practicing law here, and within 20 years after his arrival he was governor of the state. John Francis Hague was the architect of the Old Capital in Iowa City as well as the Old Illinois Capital in Springfield, and while in Springfield became a close, person- al friend of a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln. After he moved to Dubuque he designed the Dubuque County Jail, the City Hall, Sln.1 t.h.. Ort...ann Un""" The beautiful Linwood Cemetery, a . perpetual care, non-profit association, was not always what you see today. The original city cemetery was laid out in 1833 at what is now Jackson Park, at 15th and Main Streets. The cemetery was not well maintained by the city and as Dubuque grew northerly, Main and Locust Streets became posh residential areas, so much so that the park rather than a cemetery was considered more acceptable use. In 1851, no new graves were permitted and the city purchased 20 acres on the bluffs north of Dubuque, cre- ating the first municipally-owned, rural cemetery in the Middlewest. What was to be called Linwood Cemetery was born. By 1865, the bodies in the old cemetery were disinterred and removed to Linwood along with the headstones. But all was not well at Linwood, for the city, despite its vision in establishing it, had repeated its failure of maintenance. The situation continued to worsen and in 1875 public-spirited citizens formed a private association and subscribed $60,000 for financing-the cemetery under private management. Lots were sold for at $5 to $25, which of course included perpetual-care, and today those . same lots are still cared for and maintained for that original price. There are 147 acres presently, sufficiently large enough for Linwood's future requirements. In 1893 a considerable compliment was paid to Linwood. A monument was sub- scribed commemorating the soldiers and sailors who served in the Civil War from this area and the citizens of Dubuque select- ed Linwood as its site. On November 5th of that year over 10,000 people assembled for its dedication and the speaker of the day was A Y. McDonald, a twice wounded veter- an who now himself is buried in Linwood. It is a striking monument, .topped with the statue of Ii tired, thoughtful infantryman. Below him are carried the names of the bat- tles in which our veterans fought: Antietam, ttysburg, Atlanta, Vicksburg, Appomatox, and Mobile Bay - a roud litany. Below that is carried the famous phrase: "on arne's eternal camping ground their silent tents are spread," nd surrounding it are all the graves of those who fought in our ars, the two World Wars, the Civil War, the Spanish-American ar, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and even one from the lack Hawk War. Linwopd remains Dubuque's city cemetery and here all aiths are buried - over 50,000 Dubuquers. The same associa- ion still runs the cemetery but its organization now is that of a on-profit corporation operated by a board of directors who take o money for heir services, with all funds remaining after xpenses being used solely for the benefit of the cemetery. No ne makes a profit from Linwood. No one should. A cemetery is public trust. The short walk through inwood which follows is intended . briefly acquaint you with a few f those buried here, some famous, . orne not, none infamous, but all teresting. We enter the cemetery . ;hrough the Eighmey Gateway, a emorial to the parents of Augusta Eighmey Clapp. Her father, C. H. Eighmey, was a native of ew York State, was born in 1835 and settled in Dubuque about 1849. He was associated with the First National Bank of ubuque, spending most of his business career ere. The oldest monument is that if Woodbury I assey, who was killed in August of 1835 in his 16th year, so he was one of those bodies moved , om what is now Jackson Park. A miner and . under of early Evangelical Church in Dubuque, e was killed on Main Street by a claim jumper. Frances Stokely Wilson, who bore the dis- tinction of having shaken the hand of George Washington, came to Dubuque in 1834. She was the mother of several distinguished sons, including Thomas S., an Iowa Supreme Court - Justice at 25 and later one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in the suit of Chouteau V. Molony. The Chouteau's held certain security rights from their colleague, Julien Dubuque, and after his death and default claimed own- ership of the City of Dubuque, seeking rents .om its citizens, not a popular maneuver. Wilson and Plat ,mith, another distinguished Dubuque lawyer buried in ,inwood, convinced the United States Supreme Court that what " lien Dubuque had conveyed from his Mines of Spain were ; ineral rights only and not titles to the lands.

W. W. Chapman. Delegate to Congress from the Territory of Iowa. flied a resolution calling for the construction of a road from Dubuque to the Missouri border passing through as many county seats as practical. A bllJ approerlatlng $'2.0.000 for the first "Military Road In. Iowa was signed by President Van Buren on March 3. 1839.

He missed being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor - the highest recognition of brav- ery that our country offers - by one witness, but he was awal'ded a high British decoration by the Queen herself. Here also is buried Richard Bissell, easily the most famous Dubuque writer, and his grave is as interesting as his life. The Mississippi River is graphically portrayed on it. His early books, such as "A Sketch on the River" and "The Monogahela' were about the rivers. Probably his most famous book was "7 1/2 Cents" concerning a wage dispute at his father's clothing factory, the H. B. Glover Company. The book became a play and then a film entitled "Pajama Game." William Boyd Allison was the only Dubuquer nominated for the presidency of the Untied States, and he also was one of the incorporators of Linwood. He spent 35 years in Washington as a congressman and senator. Allison and his friend, David B. Henderson, here shown in an Adams-Farwell automobile, the only car ever manufactured in Dubuque. He died at his Locust Street home in 1908 and the Vice-President of the United States attended both the funeral and burial. Nearby is the grave of J. K. Graves, a poor New England boy who arrived in 1855, and starting as a bank cashier at the First National, he owned the bank by the time he was 21. At age 22 he started the Key City Gas Company which illuminated the town with gas lights, and then the Dubuque Street Railway Company, which gave Dubuque its first public transportation. He owned the Shot Tower, and being bound by an agreement when he sold it not to build another he dropped his lead down and old mine shaft. And because it took too long to get to his home for lunch he built the Fourth Street Elevator. He died penniless however, having become an accommodation endorser on a friend's note and the friend defaulted. We are nearly finished now. In front of this gravesite of George Washington Healey, a Civil War soldier, not the most decorated soldier in Linwood, but the holder of the highest decoration which our country gives for bravery - the Congressional Medal of Honor. After the war he owned and operated a hardware store on the east side of Main Street between 4th and 5th Streets. The Civil War Monument you have heard about is on the high promontory to the left, and along the street is the McKinley Monument with a representation of their much-loved semi- tractor on it. Further down the hill on the right is the Jewish Cemetery, con- taining the grave of Alexander Levi, born in France in 1833, the owner of an early dep~- ment store in Dubuque, and the first for- He gave some of the eign-born citizen naturalized in Iowa. property which now forms Linwood. Our Linwood tour is now finished. You have briefly shared in the dreams of some of those buried here, for this is a place of dreams. Some of them dreamed big; and some small, and some not at all; some of a city to be here some day when it was only a miner's camp and not even a town. Some had dreams of the railroads to come and some even grand visions of rails spanning the continent. And there are those buried here that saw beyond Dubuque and for a time strode mightily across the face of our nation. Some even offered more 1849. He was associated with the First National Bank of Dubuque, spending most of his business career here. The oldest monument is that if Woodbury Massey, who was killed in August of 1835 in his 36th year, so he was one of those bodies moved from what is now Jackson Park. A miner and founder of early Evangelical Church in Dubuque, he was killed on Main Street by a claim jumper. Frances Stokely Wilson, who bore the dis- tinction of having shaken the hand of George Washington, came to Dubuque in 1834. She was the mother of several distinguished sons, including Thomas S., an Iowa Supreme Court - Justice at 25 and later one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in the suit of Chouteau V. Molony. The Chouteau's held certain security rights from their colleague, Julien Dubuque, and after his death and default claimed own- ership of the City of Dubuque, seeking rents from its citizens, not a popular maneuver. Wilson and Plat Smith, another distinguished Dubuque lawyer buried in Linwood, convinced the United States Supreme Court that what Julien Dubuque had conveyed from his Mines of Spain were mineral rights only and not titles to the lands. The town was saved. Gertrude Rhoades was neither distin- gUished nor famous, but that was because she died at 3 years of age, on March 9th, 1884. She was remembered by her contemporaries as a kindly and sweet child but she is remem- bered at Linwood by the touching monument of her child's chair and shoes, both done in marble with the inscription "My Gertrude Rhoades, My 3 Years Old." The Hancock family have erected an imposing monu- ment, and that is appropriate for John T. Hancock was Linwood's first President and one of the guiding forces in the creation of the cemetery as we see it today. He had a very profitable wholesale grocery business at 1st and Main, and his vacant but imposing warehouse remains there today. But perhaps the most distinctive and unusual monument is the of the Wellington family. W. E. Wellington came here in 1855, broke, driving a dray wagon. He was one of those natural entrepreneurs with the Midas touch, and soon his Northwest Packet Company owned and operated many steamboats, and it was he who constructed the first bulk grain barges. The massive stone is believed by some to be a meteor, probably an erroneous conclusion, but whether it is or not, the cross on the stone is natural. Certainly no family was more influential in the early days of our town than the four Langworthy brothers: James, Edward, Lucius and Solon. The first three were lead miners in Galena who commenced illegal mining here in 1830 - illegal because the area west of the river was part of the Indian lands. Lucius dis- covered the rich Langworthy lode which pro- duced 10 million pounds oflead ore and led to a miner's settlement in what was to later become the town of Dubuque. In 1833 it became legal to mine the lead on the Iowa side, and in 1840 Lucius struck the Langworthy cave, which was even more valu- able than his earlier find. The fourth brother, Solon, joined them as did their father, Dr. Stephen Langworthy. All four kids , - ~ (1 ., ~-,,-'-'-_..--'.,._-- ~ l7 .. in 1807, came to Dubuque in 1840 and died here in 1877. Here he practiced medicine, except when he was a Civil War surgeon. He lived in a large home near the site of the Finely Hospital, and upon his widow's death in 1833 the house was donated to the new hospital which was to bear his name, and the house itself became the first hospital building of Finley. Mathias Ham, a Tennessee-born in 1805, fought in the Black hawk War and was later described by a contemporary as "a solitary and energetic figure." He was variously a steamboat captain, miner, smelter, builder, railroad promoter, and cabbage king. His mansion remained after he lost his wealth, and it is one of the historic homes open for visitors. Stephen Hempstead came to Dubuque from the East in 1836, fought as an artillery officer in the Sac and Fox War, afterward practicing law here, and within 20 years after his arrival he was governor of the state. John Francis Rague was the architect of the Old Capital in Iowa City as well as the Old Illinois Capital in Springfield, and while in Springfield became a close, person~ al friend of a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln. After he moved to Dubuque he designed the Dubuque County Jail, the City Hall, and the Octagon House. Another Linwood shareholder was Jesse P. Farley, who fought in the Black Hawk War, thereafter becoming a miner, smelter, grocer, wholesaler, woodworking manufacturer, rail- road magistrate, and receiver of the Great Northern Railroad. He was a man of strong views, a teetotaler, twice mayor of Dubuque, and because of his over-extended railroad inter- ests he lost his wealth, including his Washington Park mansion, now a part of Mary of the Angels Home. David B. Henderson was born in Scotland, lost part of his foot in the Civil war, practiced law in Dubuque before serving as a long- term congressman from this district. He ulti- mately became Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He is the highest- ranking governmental figure buried in Liriwood, and his monument is a stone from the quarry near his hometown in Scotland. The celebrated Tiffany firm in New York City carved the monument. Like Henderson, A. Y. McDonald was a Scotsman. Arriving here in 1856 he worked as a plumber and was the canny inventor of an improvement to the monkey wrench. He fought in the Civil War as a member of the Governor's Greys, which was the first division to answer Lincoln's call to arms, and he was twice wounded. Returning to Dubuque after the war he formed the company which still bears his name, and which manufactured pumps and plumbing goods. He died in 1891 as a consequence of being shot by a burglar. We are now in the Riverview Addition, one of Linwood's newest areas, and so named because of its panoramic view of ' the city and Mississippi River. Here is the grave of Ted Ellsworth, the president of Linwood when he died, and the grandson of one of the incorporators of Linwood. Ellsworth was .

Some even offered m. than their talents for their country; they gave their very live But most of those here lived quiet, conventional lives as reli- able, responsible citizens, and died. And who is to say that t dreams of a home and family were less than those of the mo and shakers of our Republic. Linwood holds all that is mortal of all these people, whethe rich or poor, influent or anonymous, drean of dreams both large and small, so it is a sacred place. But th. good they did, and th dreams, are no here - they are beyond the gates, present in the cottages and house, and even institutions. Within the gates however is Linwood, a cemetery for all faiths and for all people, beautiful with the care of over 120 years, and a continuing resource and treasure for all Dubuque. But it is more. It is the repository of an exceptional and hon- ored past, and you have shared today in a part of it. ~ ~'/v',.. ~ BOARD OF DIRECTORS Robin H. O'Connor President Wallace E.

In 1956, the operation called "Hay Lift:' was a program that assisted chicken farmers in southwestern Iowa. The Greys helped transport hay for starving animals and did a great job. The Governors' Greys Company was a century old on April 7, 1959. When members marched in peace- time parades throughout the country, there always was a snap to their cadence. In 1966, the company returned to Mardi Gras in New Orleans to be in the parade. Just watching them, a stranger knew they had a tradition and pride seldom known by a state unit. They returned after 1917 began, but were activated seven months later and left to fight in World War I. A parade through the downtown area to the Chicago Great Western depot was met with great , enthusiasm from hundreds of people. The company served well, and one Dubuque 19-year-old, Sgt. Matthew Spautz, posthumously received the Distinguished Service Cross. During World War n, some of the company saw action as volunteer rangers, and the others served in North Africa at the front in Tunisia. They were in the front lines when Italy was invaded. Since then, the Governors' Greys have helped in a Waterloo Rath of the National Guard in 1885, W.K Thrift became their commander. The Dubuque unit was placed in the front rank of the National Guard companies in the United States. The honors continued to mount and, in 1894, the Governors' Greys acted as a special guard to "Rex," King of the Carnival during Mardi Gras at New Orleans. Members of the Greys served during the SpanIsh-American War ~nd marched in a parade after the Spanish flag was lowered and Old Glory raised over Cuba. In 1916, the company was again in service of the U.S. Army at the Mexican border. Capt. Clyde L. Ellsworth called for recruits and the Greys were at strength once more. society ladies of the Key City. The flag was carried into all the battles in which the Greys engaged. The first battle at Wilson's Creek, Mo" baptized the company under fire. Seven Dubuquers were killed and 36 wounded. After the battle, Herron was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. In 1887, the group attended the Constitution Centennial celebration at Philadelphia, then traveled to New York City to receive its silk flag from Herron. The unit returned home by way of Washington, D.C., where President Grover Cleveland welcomed it. That was the first time a military company had been honored by a president. After the Greys became a company Dubuquers were part of the m tary unit I' OApril, 1859, a military company . '''called the Governors' Grevs was . organized. It was the first -military body other than the United States Army to pledge its services to Pre~ident James J. Buchanan. Newly elected Capt. EJ. Herron led \J;Ie Greys.
