Bit and Ours A War Charity Tale From Estherville
A family tale from Estherville recounts a worker who saved 3 a week to buy a West Side timber lot for 85.06. The land helped fund a Red Cross drive as the boy Tom and his brother Rex cut wood for sale, while the family supported war needs and a sister’s quilt traveled to France. The letter highlights homefront effort, German language tension, and a community salute to D A R and war work.
