WAPELLO The 240 or so residents of the small Louisa County town of Fredonia have a choice to make either volunteer to serve as a city leader or risk seeing the 177-year-old community become an unincorporated hamlet of the county or possibly absorbed by Columbus Junction, its larger sister community just across the Iowa River.
