Miss Glare Lunbeck, Mason City,
District Superintendent of the Iowa
Children Home, located at Des Moines
was in Cresco the first Of the week and
gave three excellent addresses, in the
congregational, Baptist and Methodist
churches Sunday, setting forth the
aims and needs of the society. The
object of this benevolent institution is
a very laudable one-to find a home
for orphans and destitute children in
the homes of our citizens. The col
lections and subscriptions at the
churches amounted to $76.7O, besides
three life memberships of 1875 each,
also to be paid in the future. The
local board was re-organized with
Rev. S. H. Mitchell, Pres; H. c..
| Hjerleid, Vice Pres; Abbie Converse,
Sec. and Treas; Mrs, M. A. Watts,
Mr.. j. A. Barker, Mrs. Kate Culbert,
Mrs. w. II. Mead. Miss Lunbeck took
four children from Howard county to
Des Moines with her, and will attempt
to find homes for them. Republican.
Two of the children were those of
the late Mrs. Arvilla Van Leuven Of
Lime Springs, and the other two were
the Moore children.
A visit to the new home in course of
preparation by p. A. Wanless on his
farm at the head of Elm street, shows
a we'll designed house and one of the
best finished in its general work, it
has ever been our pleasure to exam
inc. The basement is arranged for q
hot water heater, the intention being
TO use that system for heating the
house. The first floor will contain a
hall, parlor, dining room, kitchen,
wash room, pantry, bathroom and a
large sleeping room. The hall and
stairway is being finished in q fine
quality Of red oak, also the sleeping
room, the parlor with birch, the din
ing room in ash, the kitchen and wash
room in pine. The second floor beside
the hall at the head of the stairs is
divided into five rooms with ample
closet room for each. These rooms
are all finished in pine. The attic is
| finished so that it will make a fine
place for drying clothes when the
weather is not suited to drying out of
doors. The passage way through the
the attic leads to the lookout reached
from that floor, overlooking Cresco
and ihe surrounding country enabling
a person there to look down the en-
tire length of Elm street. In a pant
of the attic is a large 10 barrel tank
filled with water caught from the roof
and is conducted by pipes to any part
of the house where wanted. The doors
to all rooms on the first floor are of
solid oak to correspond with the finish
of the rooms, those between the hall,
the parlor and the dining room being
sliding doors which, when occasion
may require, makes the three, sub
stantially one. The design and the
carpenter work upon this elegant
structure has been done by Geo. H..
West of Cresco, every feature of which
speaks volumes in his praise; the
mason work is that OF Dell Berry, and
none better can be shown in the coun-
ty. This elegant mansion with its
commanding outline is located upon a
beautiful plat OF ground at the head of
Elm street and commands the attention
of all observers upon that thorough
fare.
