Local notes from Okoboji and area events
The Okoboji area carries news of family moves and travel. The J. P. Kirby family settles in a cottage amid others selling homes and planning trips to Vermont and Washington. A Vermont trip includes a stop at Westmore and a return to the old Lyon home. Local job changes include Addie Lyman joining Herman Oransky’s store during vacations. A 1910 touring car is up for sale, and Lincoln street firms plan an addition to their building. A London visit by Harry Tosdal and Prof J. J. Thompson, plus Cecil Rhodes scholar ties, frames a sequence of European travel and study plans for three boys. A Church of Christ service invites all, with Prof S. R. Stine set to lead in Fort Dodge and possibly teach voice in Estherville.
