 THE LEGEND OF JACK
Born in the Adair County town of Fontanelle, Iowa, during World War I, Jack’s legend began when he lent his talents to help the Red Cross Nursing Corps raise over $40,000 at auctions held throughout Iowa and South Dakota in 1917.
Preserved by a taxidermist and donated to the Iowa State Historical Society after the war, Jack was “on loan” to the Adair County Heritage Museum to help the county celebrate its Sesquicentennial year.
Donating their services as auctioneers for the event were Ted Wallace, great-grandson of Mark Dunkerson, the Fontanelle farmer who originally donated the rooster for auction, and Delmer Baier, son of one of the original auctioneers.
