Newburg Elevator
-
Description
-
The Newburg (Iowa) elevator in the early 1940s. The elevator was built in 1917 and demolished in 2014. Itel Gillespie and Mac (Glenn) McCarel are standing in front of the elevator. On the verso of the photo is a handwritten history of the elevator and the town which was probably written in the late 1960s. It reads: Newburg founded 1878. 100 years ago there were 2 grain elevators constructed of wood. Then in 1917-1918 a poured concrete elevator and a block warehouse were built and still in use. 3 grocery stores that burned. The present building that still stands was a grocery store, but now is an apartment house. The railroad depot was demolished about 5 years ago. A water tank furnished water to the steam engines. A stock yard was available for the farmers cattle and hogs. We had our own post office. The creamery building still stands and did a route business and part of the building used as an ice house. We once had a prosperous bank, but it closed in 1933. There have been 2 blacksmith shops, a lumber yard. The farmers owned a telephone switchboard. One of the residents owned and operated a Model T agency. At one time we had 2 churches, the Church of God and the Congregational, this is now known as the UCC. A KP hall served as community center where the women gathered to sew during World War I. The lower floor housed new farm machinery. Our school is still operating and it now serves just 6th graders and one kindergarten class. In 1964 a newly formed organization known as Newburg Community Service Association dug a 225 foot well. It serves all homes business, school and church.
