Local notes from Pella stage community life and visits
Local items recall residents health updates and travel. Ben Vroegh suffers appendicitis while Rev Van Dyke leaves Peoria church. Many visits occur among neighbors including Des Moines, Minneapolis, Knoxville and Oskaloosa. A steady flow of personal news, fudge promotions, and sermons fills town pages.
