From the Glenwood Herald December 22, 1911
 The Lowry creamery burned to the ground last Wednesday morning. The fire was discovered about 2 o’clock in the morning but the flames had then gained such headway that the fire company could not extinguish the fire.
The little four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Torguson walked all the way to the Halverson farm south of the lake last Monday afternoon. Her mother noticed she had disappeared about 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A hunt was started and she was found two hours later, two miles out in the country. The little girl was well dressed and had no bad effects of her long walk.
O. E. Jensen was so unfortunate as to swallow a tack last Monday evening, while tacking cloth on the ceiling of his home.
