Old Folks Party and Local News Snapshots
Thirty years ago a small town marked a quiet afternoon with an old folks party at J D Goff's, guests aged 81 to 87 sharing stories, music, and a playful air. Miscellaneous notes include births, marriages, moves, weather forecasts, church events, and local society updates from December 1920 era.
Rail line progress and local events mark year end
About two weeks of work remain on the M. and St. L. grade southwest of town with one gap north of Sherburn. Freight trains could run Estherville to Minneapolis by Christmas as track layers finish. A baking contest for biscuits at the corner hardware drew many young girls, with Ida Mott winning the Buck's steel range. Nearby, Ed Ellis welcomed a baby girl. M. J. Archer buys the M. K. Whelan residence for spring move. Prices for eggs and butter rise. Community gatherings honor Dr. Luccock and Presbyterian pioneers as a rain storm passes. Charles Ackerman visits, Mrs. Schloaman and children travel relatives, and a birthday at J. M. Snyder’s household is celebrated.
