Plundered Iowa again! .... wheats, rings, and this token.

[TerryC]

Went with TimC again to Lansing, Iowa. Found four more wheats, a tiny gold ring, a silver man's ring and this token. The token is very corroded... white metal.... and one side says... Good For One 5 (cent) Cigar. The other side says... Charlie Gee Jackson, Minn. I checked the internet and could only find LOTS of GEE's in the UK. As far as I could tell, nothing specific on any political or famous Gee's in Jackson. Anybody help me out? Also, a pic of a stagecoach stop that dates back to the 1850's. The land was first deeded to Col. Wakefield for his efforts during the Indian Wars. He built the house, complete with backyard FORT. I am told the slits near the roofline are gunports! The house was a restaurant for a while and is now a private residense. No one home this date so the pics are from the road. TTC

Looked up Charles Gee's death record in Minnesota and and found this info. Charles Ray Gee was born 20 July 1884 and died January 29, 1959 in Jackson County, Minnesota. There's probably more than could be found since based on the token he was some kind of proprietor.

It's ugly, it's beat up, but it's a token! (Kinda like me, the ugly, beat up part) This is the place to get any info, good luck!
