RETOLD OLD NEWS

Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
Thursday, September 19, 1985

Lisa Wilson, Mount Ayr

With the closing of the Mount Ayr Hotel by owner Mabel RICE, the era of a downtown hotel that served the community, comes to an end. Mrs. RICE has owned the hotel since the late 1940's. When the time came that the cost of heating the building became prohibitive, Mrs. RICE decided to close the doors. The building is believed to be the oldest business structure in Mount Ayr, but as yet it hasn't been determined exactly when it was built.

Dale WALKUP was elected president of the Mount Ayr Community school board and WALKUP and Janet McCLURE were sworn in as new board members at the reorganizational meeting of the board Monday night.

Among the 170 persons who gathered at the Mount Ayr Community high school commons for dinner, a program and fellowship Sunday night, Sept. 8, were those who are living proof that help can come. They joined with referral personnel - county magistrates in Ringgold and surrounding counties, Crossroads staff and others from government agencies, clergy, medical professionals, employers and labor representatives, family members and Central staff - in celebration of the first year of the existence of the Harold HUGHES Center in Mount Ayr.
