Titanica era social whirl spanned Algona area
Local notes show O E Slack and many others visiting Algona, Mason City, Lakota, and nearby towns for business and social events. Families like the Stecker, Pouelsen, and Pannkuk clans are mentioned moving, marrying, hosting guests, and traveling to Des Moines, Minneapolis, and Grimes. A baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Swalve, with a flurry of visits and community ties throughout the week.
