Roads Worst in Many Years in Titonia Area
Last week the Titonia region faced severe and widespread road trouble. From Monday to week’s end the eastern route was impassable, stopping mail trucks and forcing roundabout detours. Cars and tractors were stuck in bad spots, and only by Saturday did the south route approach usable. Farmers drove teams to Titonka for groceries as hitching posts ran scarce. A sample tale shows Rev Calvin Schnucker traveling south from his farm to Bancroft Forest City road, then east toward town.
