In the sleepy town of Mora, Minnesota, a peculiar phenomenon has been unfolding. The latest census figures reveal that the state’s population has experienced a small but notable increase, with a total of 2,563,953 residents as of April 1, 1930. This may seem like a minor development, but for a state that has seen significant growth in the past, this latest figure represents a mere 176,828 increase, a far cry from the 74% growth experienced between 1920 and 1930. In fact, this is the smallest numerical increase since the decade of 1850 to 1860.
As the townspeople of Mora go about their daily lives, it’s hard not to wonder what secrets lie beneath the surface. What could be the reason behind this stagnant growth? Is it a sign of economic hardship, or perhaps a reflection of the town’s values and priorities? Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Mora is not immune to the challenges facing the rest of the country.
Just a stone’s throw away from the bustling streets of Mora lies the New London Milling Co, where A.S. Anderson has been hard at work, installing a new hammer mill at the local elevator. The company is now ready to offer custom grinding services to the area’s farmers, including ear corn. But amidst the hum of activity, a more sinister plot may be brewing. The townspeople are being warned about a mysterious auction, with Andrew Erickson, a licensed embalmer and funeral director, offering the contents of a mysterious sale. But what’s being sold, and to whom, remains a closely guarded secret.
As the townspeople of Mora go about their daily lives, they may not realize that their quiet community is home to a complex web of secrets and lies. The population figures may be small, but the truth behind them is anything but.
The truth is, Mora is not just a small town in rural Minnesota, it’s a microcosm of a larger America. It’s a place where the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred, and where the truth is often hidden behind a veil of deceit. And it’s in the shadows of this small town that the real story lies.
