How long has it been since you've visited the GAR Museum in Nebr. City? We were looking for information on Bob's great-grandfather, which we didn't find anything we didn't already know. But, there are lots of new displays and the young man that was working there was so helpful. Entry fee is a free will donation, and it's worth the trip.

 

 

The Flood of 1950

By: Renowned Cub Reporter Bob Wilhelm

Discussion at the Paisley Bottom Coffee Shop and Critical Thinking Laboratory was steered to a historical event. Comments by our Elder John, reported that 74 years ago, May 8th was the beginning of the flood of 1950. This flood was horrific for it's loss of life and damage to communities along the Nemaha and other rivers in Southeast Nebraska.

Railroad tracks along old Highway #2

 

John said that with each lightening flash, he could see the river bottom south of Palmyra covered in water. Newspaper accounts reported 11 lives were lost in southeastern Nebraska. A bus swept off the old Highway 2 between Unadilla and Syracuse, near Bob and Tony Engelbrecht's farms.
