Local notes from Algona area community events
A long list of weekly errands, visits, and routines in Algona and nearby towns. Residents travel to Mason City and Des Moines for medical care and banking, attend church events, and host or join family gatherings. A quarantine for scarlet fever affects several families, and a fire at the Sennes brooder house burns five hundred chicks.
