G. L. Stockham Contractor

It was only natural that G. Lyle Stockham should enter the contracting trade as he grew up in it. His father, Lee Stockham, was a building contractor and the son began working for him when a boy. Entering the trade for himself 20 years ago, he has built up a large business.

Within the past few years he has directed the erection of practically all the new homes in town, including the Marousis, Anacher and Matthias homes. He also was the contractor for the remodeling of the new Legion Home. Shop work and mill work are among the fields in which he specializes.

Born and educated in Maquoketa, he was married to Miss Ruth Peterson, and they have two children, Blanche and Robert.
