Rolfe and surrounding town notes record postwar visits and local sales
Denver visitor Carl Shields and Misa Kirkpatrick call on F. M. Ritchey home while Chicago visitors tour Carroll kinfolk in Fonda. Jacob Vetter hosts a closing out sale north of town with cows selling over 120 dollars, alfalfa at 30 per ton, and pigs near 150 dollars. Local service members return home from camps and training, and county families report marriages, illnesses, and farm sales ahead of winter.
