My gg-grandfather Lorenzo Dow Weinhart was mayor of Ankeny, Iowa twice. He was first elected in 1910 and then a second time in 1920. Not only was he a mayor but at one time or another he was Justice of the Peace, Constable, and Superintendent of road work for Crocker Township. As mayor one of the projects he was most satisfied with was the completion of the first paved road from Ankeny to Des Moines in 1921.  ¶ 9:36 AM
