Capt.
F. A. Whitney
Centerville
Montrose has no bridge but has a steam ferry. A
ferry makes daily trips between Montrose, Iowa, and
Nauvoo, Ill., as there is no railroad in Nauvoo.
The ferry does a fine business, and her captain and
owner, John Rheimbold, is very popular with the
shippers and traveling public.
