Regarding Reilly’s Saloon. Frank Reilly, wife Lucille, and her mother Marie Sandberg, were La Porte to most people from the late 1930’s to the middle 1960’s. In the 30’s they (along with Marie’s first husband Lucien Amy) extended their warm hospitality to all comers, first at the La Porte Hotel and later at Reilly’s Saloon and Café. Frank was born in Forbestown and before becoming an innkeeper he was the foreman of the Feather Fork Mine. Frank, Lucille, and “Mom” were always ready to welcome you with hot food and drinks and good companionship.
