TINGLEY, IOWA CENTENNIAL: 1883 - 1983

 

  TINGLEY CENTENNIAL LOGO: The railroad was built in 1882, and a train arrived in Tingley September 17, 1882. Tingley had the highest elevation on the H &S Railroad between Humeston and Shenandoah.

The band stand was an old landmark and stood in the center of Main Street over a large well for 35 years.

Main Street was lined with large elm trees that succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease in the 1960's.

Logo designed by Vicki SCOTT SOWERS and submitted by Grandfather, Wayne A. OVERHOLTZER.
