Lindhorst worked at POW Camp
By Wren Menke, AHS Journalism
ALGONA—Lavon Lindhorst was an employee of the Camp Algona Prisoner of War camp during 1944 and 1945. She worked as a secretary under Major Hutton and even was a court reporter for a short time.
In 2001, Lavon agreed to an interview with Brian Connick and a few students from his World War II class. This interview has since been cataloged with many others, but still provides much insight about life at the camp and during the war.
