Pella news year two decades back highlights
Twenty years ago the Pella area saw rail shipping via Wabash at Howell and the addition of a new team to the Stacker Co. School directors F. M. Cole and H. J. Vanden Berg were re-elected, an extra $5,000 Lincoln school bond brought total to $20,000, and $15,000 previously voted was found insufficient. The Philos entertained the Alethians at Central College, a baby girl was born to the Catlins, and the Gaass child fractured its nose. Local bankers, merchants, and plans included duck hunting trips, spring goods purchases in Chicago, and a new oil company with $100,000 capital. Dr. Van Marel planned to move to Odebolt, Edith Jersey Toad visited, and the Princess Bonnie troupe eyed Monroe. An early editor Betzer wrote of 1857 arrival, and a $780 Rannells bank robbery shocked the town, with burglars blowing a vault door and absconding with assets.
