The Storn Howe Charities Aid the Destitute Poor
A fireside appeal urges Freeport residents to help the destitute poor during a severe snow season. It calls for charity from women and men, notes shortages of fuel and warmth, and urges practical aid to provide clothing and shelter. A letter from a respected local elder accompanies the plea. The piece also notes the December issue of a youth magazine and upcoming German Singerbund concert plans in the area. A brief town update on Forest City Iowa describes a new settlement near the upper Iowa River with about a hundred residents and attractively located lands.
