Dividing Kossuth County North and South Sparks Iowa Debate
The Fairmont Sentinel reports a revived push to split Kossuth County Iowa into Bancroft Crocker or Larabee style counties. Proponents argue the 432 square mile minimum for Iowa counties is exceeded by Kossuth which stretches far beyond the standard. The move seeks to end the long running division dispute by creating a separate northern county. The Cedar Falls Bible Conference will be held August 6 to 18 with Dr. Parley B Zartmann leading and a cross denominational board. The event will feature speakers such as Dr G Campbell Morgan and Homer Rodeheaver with extensive facilities at Riverview Park Cedar Falls and the Cedar River.
