Phelps builds farm structures despite blindness
The article profiles Charley Phelps an 80 acre farmer who with limited sight has built his own hog house and plans more improvements with neighbor help. He lost vision after an accident under a selfbinder twenty seven years ago yet remains cheerful and active in farming. He notes his success comes from cattle hogs and dairy work and even tax reports reflect his income. The piece also mentions a romance and upcoming district court action pending a divorce petition filed by Jacob Hubbes of Ledyard against Tukokok Sebos of Holland. He has sought relocation for his wife since 1911 but she won’t leave Holland Algona.}
