Elgin and area notes mix of visitors and events
Local items report Miss Rosé Falk of West Union voting in Elgin on Tuesday. Dozens of residents, including Mrs. George Stoshr and Mrs. L. B. Mattoon, visited Postville and towns nearby. Campaign travel and homecomings populate the week, with residents returning from St. Louis, Mitchell County moves, and hunting trips in Minnesota. A note on telephone service reveals the local exchange is down due to lack of a switchboard, while preparations for a Gazette hire and a reference to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy close the piece with familiar local flavor.
