Newspaper exposure

So recently I've been in contact with the local newspaper around Algona and surrounding cities.  My hope is that they will write a short story about the search and link the blog, and then someone who might know something will tell me.

I also have someone from the state historical society looking into death, and birth, and marriage announcements during that time.

I'm sort of at a dead end right now.  Trying to come up with creative ideas but I'm falling short.  I still have this feeling that the father worked on the rails through algona.  I wonder if burlington northern would keep a record of past employees.

Anyway, my wheels are still turning but just not as much.
