Social calls and family gatherings dominate Aurelia notes
A long list of visits and dinners fills the Aurelia area as residents host relatives from Marcus, Chicago, Remsen, Storm Lake, and other towns. Highlights include birthday celebrations for Mrs. Patten and Mr. Pingel, fishing trips in Minnesota, and travel back and forth among families such as the Geuther, Schulke, and Forbes clans, with several residents visiting hospitals and churches in the region.
