Mrs. Mary Goetz spent Sunday with her son Joe Goetz and family. Numerous local families shared Christmas Day visits with relatives across Algona and surrounding communities, including the Studers, McMahons, Cinks, Hauptmanns, Goetzs, and Lent families. Many relatives traveled to and from Fort Benning, Camp Bowie, and Des Moines for holidays and furloughs, with school and community events noted as winter resumes.
