Long grove

Al Klindt, second from the right wearing a white T-shirt with his arms folded, stands outside his blacksmith shop in Long Grove. Klindt’s shop was located across the street from Stockman’s Savings Bank when two men robbed it on Dec. 15, 1921. He and other citizens of Long Grove participated in a gun battle that mortally wounded the robbers. Photos courtesy of City of Long Grove, Iowa
