DOrn III fOfC washington, WIS.,,
Aug. a, 1882, he attended shcool
at Port Washington, and came to
Sank Centre on March 10, 1901.
After his arrival in this city
John started to work for Nick
Schwartz on farm three miles
west of Sank Centre. He remained
there for three years. He worked
for one year as a painter for
George Diebel, and as a laborer
on st. Paul's Catholic church.
In 1866 he was employed in the
Keller factory. The latter part of
1906 he secured a position in the
storage house of the Gund Brewing
Company. He was in the cigar
business with Fred Lux the next
year. Feb. FL, 1908, John started
to work for J. B. Schoenhoff. He
remained with Mr.. Schoenhoff until
1928, when he opened Johns
Place" on Third street.
Mr.. Mondloch serves a splendid
lunch and his place is a popular
gathering point for the young men
and some of them not so young.
He has a fine business, and why
shouldn't he? His place is
absolutely clean and the treatment
accorded the customers is very
courteous and the service is the
best.
John Mondloch was united in
marriage to Miss Susan Schwartz
in August, 1907. She passed away
in January, 1915. There was one
son, Albert M. He joined his
mother July, 1924, at the age
of Is years.
June 6, 1917, Mr.. Mondloch was
married to Mrs. Rose E. Terney,
nee Rose Sauer.

corporations, to buy the lighting
plant.
! When the propositions were
made the Water, Light and Power
Commission looked to John. He
produced the facts, showing what
I the earnings of the light and power
systems were.
Representatives of the big
corporations said it could not be
done. Of course all John had, to
prove his statements, was the cold
cash in the bank.
1t is quite probable that the
Northern States Power Company
would be willing to pay Sank
Centre 100000 in cold cash for
the city's pole line, municipal
power plant and other accessories,
if they would be allowed the priv
lege of selling current direct to
the consumers.
There is not one dollars bonded
Indebtedness outstanding against
the city's lighting plant.
The members of the Water,
Light and Power Commission are
busy men. They do not receive
any compensation for their
services. But they rest secure.
Why? Because there is John
McGlbbon watching and safeguard
ing the light plant at every turn
in the road.
Big corporations pay large
salaries for the ability and loyalty
which costs Sank Centre $14O per
month.
When the city was casting about
for a new water supply and pure
water, who lead the way?
John McGibbon.
He directed the City Council to
the springs on the north side of
the river. Today Sank Centre is
supplied with water that the State
Board of Health prounounces as
being as nearly pure and healthful
as it is possible for water to be.
The above are just few of the
things this man McGibbon has
done for his home town.
"A week or two ago he came into
the Herald office and said the man
was in town who was responsible
for the erection of Sank Centres
modern school buildings, and sug-
gested that the Herald pay him
tribute in this edition. That
gentleman played his part but he
did not lead the way.
John is a shrinking violet and
will disclaim any personal credit
for the school buildings or of the
making of the light and qower
systems one that experts will
travel miles to inspect.
1t is unusual for municipal
plants to pay and still furnish
satisfactory service at rates as low
as those enjoyed by the citizens of
Sank Centre.
The time will come when the
people of this city will more fully
the real worth of John
MIR. MCGibbon was born at
Brownsburg, Quebec, Dec. Fl,
1859. He came to Sank Centre
in 1881.
Mr.. McGibbon was united in
to Miss Louise Crozier at
La Chute, Quebec, June, 10, 1881.
The children are: Mrs. Lillian
Jacobson, Alexandria; John R.
Fargo; Mrs. Hazel
st. Cloud; DR.. E. E.
McGibbon, Minneapolis; and James

he and his father-in-law purchased
Mr.. Perkins business. The firm
name remains unchanged today.
Hanson & Emerson are one of the
very oldest firms doing business in
Sank Centre.
Mr.. Hanson became registered
pharmacist in 1886, graduating
from the pharmacy department of
the University of Illinois.
Burt has been a useful citizen
of this city for years. AS member
of the Sank Centre Board of Edu-
cation he has carried portion of
worries through a strenuous build
ing program; there have been some
school troubles, internal and
external, in the years gone by and
Mr.. Hanson's common sense has
been of material assistance in
equitably settling any misunder-
standings. He was president of
the Board for a long time, retiring
this year when J. F. Cooper
succeeded him.
There are but a few drug stores
in Central Minnesota which enjoy
a business of the magnitude of
Hanson & Emerson. They carry
almost everything-certainly every
thing in the drug and wallpaper
line
Mr.. Hanson has two sons,
Donald, who is his right hand man
in the store, and DR.. Malcolm

never-say-die spirit that brought
the school to Sank Centre.
The magnitude of the obstacles
to be overcome in securing the
Home School was not small.
Stearns county already had two
state institutions - the State
Reformatory and the State
Teachers College, both at St.
Cloud. There were also IA other
cities whe were active candidates.
After the Home School was
established DR.. Dubois was the
resident physician for several
years.
Mr.. Dubois has been a consistent
supporter of Commissioner Bah
cocks program to develop the
trunk line highways of Minnesota.
DR.. Dubois is generally recog-
nized as a Democrat, politically.
He ran for Congress twice. Once
in 1902, and again in 1914. The
first time he was opposed by
Congressman Buchanan, the last
time by the late Charles Lindbergh.
Had the voters of the Sixth district
selected DR.. Dubois they would
have had a virile, Woodworking
representative with sufficient abil-
ity to attract the recognition of
his colleagues.
Just because he is a Democrat
does not mean that DR.. Dubois
accepts all the foibles of his party.
In the good old days when con-
ventions were quite the thing it
was not unusual for the Doctor to
throw a monkey-wrench into the
works of a well-oiled machine of
his party.
Machine politics never appealed
to the Doctor.
Mr.. Dubois is the most profound |
student in Sank Centre. If you
want to discuss theology the Doctor
will take you on; if it is history,
ancient or modern, he will acquit
himself with credit; if it is taking
a fall out of the Republican party
the Doctor is in his glory.
DR.. Dubois is a poet at heart
and when the muse is working he
has written poems which experts
nave pronounced classics.
DR.. Dubois likes folks.
He has always liked to mingle
With the common people. He has
'eached the age where he would
much rather play rummy with his
,als than practice medicine, but
he families whom he has treated
III these years still want him to
