Local Notes From Algona And Vicinity
Mrs. Will Bowen of Fort Dodge returned home yesterday. Many residents travel to Chicago and Des Moines for visits and shopping. The G. S. McMurray family moved to Lone Rock to run a hotel. A social luncheon honored Mrs. Bowen, a former county teacher. Local readers hear jokes at the library and follow neighbors visiting Burt, Estherville, and Des Moines.
