Graettinger Roots Hold Fast In Narrow Rail Sacrifice
The Graettinger town story centers on J A Spies and the railroad vote that saved the depot, keeping Graettinger alive. Early growth followed with Zahm Oshier and others building stores, elevators, a hotel, and a 1898 school, while the 1910 snapshot notes strong freight from the railroad and a growing community. The piece also touches a county fair program featuring local producer groups and 4 H activities with dates and organizers in Palo Alto County.
