This 60 year old picture of Leo Alquist Sr. who now lives north of Meriden was taken in Timber Lake, S.D. and gives a feel of what the Old West was like in those days with his gun in his holster and the Mustang by his side. The picture was submitted by his son, Leo Alquist, Jr.  The elder Alquist was born in Marcus and later moved out west to the Timber Lake area as well as other locations.  He moved back to Iowa in 1936.
