"Our Friends on the Acres"
Index

The "Our Friends on the Acres" column ran in the Postville Herald starting in November 1939. Each week the Herald reporter visited a different farm to interview the owners in their rural homes in Clayton county and the bordering counties of Allamakee, Fayette & Winneshiek.

In most cases, the interviews include ancestral family information as well as historical land ownership. The researcher will find many surnames and lots of information in these terrific articles!
