The only member of the history book staff who is not a
native, or a descendant of a native of Anamosa is Pat.
editor of the Anamosa Joumal-Eureka.
The idea of having a Sesquicentennial history book
was encouraged by Pat as a method of raising money to
have all the old issues of Journal-Eureka microfilmed.
and having a microfilm reader and copier available for
researchers now and in the future. The profits from the
sale of the history book will be used for that purpose: to
preserve. for the next 150 years. these invaluable
records of the weekly happenings in Anamosa and
Jones County.
However. the history book project grew and grew. un- in 2038.
til it became. in itself. an excellent source for present and
future persons.who are interested in the history of this
area. to ieam from and to enjoy.
For the past year-and-a-half. Pat has been more a
cheerleader than a co-editor. She has pushed. pulled.
coerced. blackmailed and cajoled peopie.- who really
didn't have time to get things done. to meet the various
deadlines for ads. news and pictures.
Her major contribution as editor was to proof-read the
final product three times. So. if you find any mistakes,
it's her fault. Be assured the errors will be corrected in
time for the Bicentennial History Book to be published
