Week in Mills County by Rev Peter Jacets
The article traces M B Fellows of Hastings Mills County born Jan 23 1872 near Malvern and his deep lineage to Revolutionary era figures. It recounts Abiel Fellows’s early life from the Boston Massacre to Lexington and Concord, service in Gen Watenburg’s Brigade, Black Hawk War, and Civil War ties, plus Fellows’s own matrilineal claim as a Son of the Revolution through Simeon Curtis and Timothy Hopkins with ancestral connections to the French and Indian War and early American struggles.

J. R. Hurst Home Destroyed by Fire
The fine farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Thurst east of Malvern was destroyed by fire last Thursday when a faulty chimney permitted flames to start. The Malvern fire department rushed out at once and neighbors helped to save furniture and clothing, but water supply ran out and the fire gained too much headway. The Hursts will move to Mrs. Bertha Hilton’s nearby farm. Harvey Watts and family moved to Mrs. Reed Thomson’s Malvert property. Insurance covered part of the loss, though not enough to cover everything. Loyal Crozier and daughter Frances of Ottumwa arrived Friday for a visit with Mrs. Eva Durbin.
