New Year Hopes Amid Local Socials and Fire Loss
A compilation of brief hometown notes from Minnesota and nearby areas describes visits by Herbert Culbertson, Mr and Mrs Clayton, Taylor the Christina school teacher, and other residents over New Year. A fire destroyed the Despinet home attic and upstairs, with extensive losses of furniture, potatoes, eggs, and fruit, despite a large turnout of neighbors. A farewell party at the McIntyre home honored the couple as they move south for milder climes, and a lighthearted prompt asks readers about farm name and trademark ideas.
