Father Coffin in Iowa Memoir Sparks Debate over Age and Motives
The Herald riffs on Father Coffin facing divorce claims from his much younger wife, arguing public sympathy should favor the aged priest. It notes state fair funding shifts from county to state level, urging robust county fairs, and critiques Taft’s western tour and internal party rifts. The piece touches on local events in Marshalltown, Eldora, Ackley, Scribner’s Roosevelt hunting account, and upcoming county fair dynamics.
