Widow and Mollymoppers in Our Quiet Town
A satirical and sprawling local column lists a cast of “grass widowers” including Postmaster Jake Frech and others, joking about their ennui and pretending they seek sympathy. The item veers into a wedding notice for Chester Blanchard and Grace Littlefield, notes a band reunion at the opera house, and lists Bancroft visitors. Also includes a cattle ad and a horses wanted notice from Algona.
