Just received word that Dora May lost her friend Walter Huston Saturday as he had a heart attack at Annis Store in LaPaz. Dora and her husband Harry managed a restaurant at LaPaz years ago until it. burned and then they came to North Liberty and managed the restaurant, which formerly was the Newstand for sometime. They then left and went back to LaPaz. and had the Coffee Shop until Harry died. I’m sure many of you readers will remember Dora and our sympathy goes to her this week. I know Dora well because Claude and I sold them dressed chickens for their restaurants in LaPaz and also her in North Liberty.
