Elgin News Highlights Local Visits and Events
A crowded Elgin column lists visitors and residents: J H Bower and family, Dr L S Hutchinson breaking ground for a Franklin street home, Paul Dean on a Dubuque trip, Miss Kath ry Frank visiting with Dr John Bower, and many neighbors hosting guests. Community notes cover dances, new residents Quy Lopaz family, auto trips from Ossian, and local business and auctions. The column notes farm ads, church moves, and a serious case involving Franz Meyer’s sentencing in Oslwein, plus weathered reminders about home products and a fire in Wadena.
