Algona Welcomes Falkenhainer Family Move In
The Falkenhainer family plans to relocate to Algona as new tenants of a large residence on Thornton Street. Mr Falkenhainer, secretary of the Iowa Mutual Drug and Insurance Company, brings the state headquarters to Algona with the firm’s growing insurance portfolio. A 120 acre Buffa lo Township farm sold for 67.60 per acre, while the Algona property listed at 4600. The Backus family sale marks a transition as they seek a smaller home. A visiting stranger, calling himself Robert Blythe, registered at Hotel Arketyn before boarding a Rock Island train to Germania. The host notes the crutch bound traveler appeared well dressed and claimed to canvass for a literary publication.
