Saturday morning, Barb Wilhelm, Jenn & Brody Hitzemann,
and Ruth Wilhelm attended the 1st Annual Otoe County Rural
Schools Reunion. It was held at Harmony School, eight miles
south of Nebraska City. They were excited about attending because
Effie Van Sickle Wilhelm, mother of Vernon, went to school
there between 1894 and 1900. They also located the house where
Effie and Walter Wilhelm were married, which is one mile north
of Harmony School. Ruth taught at Fairview and Paisley country
schools and Barb's mother, Darlene Fisk Boardman, taught at
District #80 - Pleasant Dale country school. It was a most
enjoyable morning.
