Monkey Business

Mr. Pagenhart delivered produce and dairy products to the Mullan grocery store in the 1930s when Mom was a kid.  This was Moms' family store (they lived there).  The siblings always remembered Jocko.

News Photo Caption:  "Jocko", a pet monkey, poses with his owner, Edgar S. Pagenhart, Westernport, for whom he guarded vegetables every Saturday.  "Jocko" is a familiar figure on the streets of Westernport, standing watch over the butter, eggs and other farm produce which Pagenhart delivers from door to door.  Although the midget watchman begs food, particularly cakes and bananas, his owner says he will not touch anything left in his care on the truck.  Pagenhart bought "Jocko" two years ago in Florida.
