NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 3-17-1916, The Otoe Union:

"The young men here are organizing a tennis club. They surveyed

the ground last Tuesday." (It would be on the Doyle lots near the

Depot.) There was a mass meeting in the Town Hall and a 

"Dry Federation" was formed to prevent the sale of alcohol.

Peter Zellers purchased a team of mules from Walter Wilhelm.

 A partition was installed in the Botsford building,

 separating the creamery from the barber shop. 

(Appropriate since the barber shop was called "The Sanitary

Barber!)
