Early Days in Polk County Recalls 40 Years Ago
The Polk County Almanac notes 160 acre farm rental by William Kroger to Pete Schrader, Arthur Wurtz taking a new post in Wyoming, and a Busy week with birthdays, anniversaries, and a picnic. A. H. Peterson swapped property for land near Stockham, and the Osceola Odd Fellows picnic drew locals. A death, a new grain separator, soda fountain upgrade, and many visits and travel details fill the page.
