Holiday happenings fill Algona area home front
Miss Ida Swanson visits Bancroft and family carry holiday cheer across town. Thermometer climbs and plunges with bitter cold as Pettibone reports 24 below zero, while many residents plan Christmas visits, travel to Omaha and Oskaloosa, and schools adjust for the cold. Local societies meet for Royal Neighbors, gun club turkey shoot, and church Christmas trees amid temperate talk of weddings and community events.
