WITOKA, Minn. – A fund has been established for a family whose house was lost in a fire March 31. Organizer Sarah Kohls said that Don and Marjorie Brown and their children, ages 11, 9 and 7, escaped with lives and nothing more. They’re now with family but need help with food, clothing, school supplies and basic necessities, Kohls said. Collections go to the Brown Family Fund at Winona National Bank.
