Local Briefs Highlight Harvests and People
A sprawling set of notes covers corn and meal from Weibel Mill Company, a birth announced by Mr and Mrs Julius John, a watchful survey of weather prophesier Gene Dunning, and social outings to Cedar Rapids and Cresco. The Postville Herald reports on October weather, war’s cost, a large charity party, and local illnesses as residents plan winter travels and town events in Fayette and surrounding counties.
