Passengers, fires and moves noted in Emmetsburg area
A stream of local movers and travelers is recorded: Rev S C Sunde, Miss Elizabeth Spies, Frank O Connor, and others travel between south north and Estherville. The Helgeson barn fire caused heavy losses with 300 dollar insurance. Many residents plan moves, studies, or visits to fairs and colleges. A teacher reception is planned at J A Spies home, while Rev Clegg preaches at Graettinger.
