The discussion was spearheaded by Jarrett. His position was that the current services agreement as outlined provided no coverage options for claims related to coroner services—such as body transportation and workers’ compensation suits for those currently employed through Moore’s office—and that the Minnesota County Insurance Trust could not offer coverage.

This Historic Minnesota Restaurant Was Once A Stagecoach Stop Before Minnesota Even Became A State

A stone doorstep at one old Minnesota restaurant is worn down by more than a century of footsteps. That groove started forming when stagecoaches still rolled up outside. The first version was a tiny log hotel, just 16 by 24 feet. It opened in 1854, four years before Minnesota was even a state. Mail carriers and weary travelers stopped there on long trips west.
