Western historian J. Evetts Haley proclaimed that L.A. Huffman's photographic work "surpasses all for historic subject matter close to the range." Laton Alton Huffman was born on October 31, 1854, on a frontier farm in Winneshiek County, Iowa, to Perrin C. and Chastina (Baird) Huffman. L.A. learned photography from his parents, and the business briefly operated as P.C. Huffman & Son. By 1876, L.A. had moved 15 miles south to Postville to open his own studio. Among various ende...
Although it has been a beautiful autumn, the "Old Farmer's Almanac" is predicting that winter is going to be rather old fashioned.

This will be the third year for Alzada's Tricks and Treats Halloween event. The event was the brainchild of Miranda Hendrickson and Catherine Richards back in 2019. The idea behind it was to have an indoor Trunk-or-Treat style event which has gained in popularity in recent years. Having the event indoors reduces concerns over unpredictable fall weather and the need to wear snowsuits underneath costumes. The event was not held in 2020 but resumed last year. Kids only have to...
While going through some old files recently, I came upon the following information. As you read it, remember the date and the amount. How many years ago? It doesn’t seem possible that the high school is that old; and what a bargain! I believe Jim Anderson was superintendent at the time and I was chairman of the board. The debt was to be paid in twenty years and each payment was for sixty-five thousand dollars. The following minutes are from the January 11, 1979 Carter County High School board meeting. “(THIRD MEETING) MINUTES...
