NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 10-14-1910, The Otoe Union:
The list of sick people was quite long. Robert Currah left for
Silver Creek, NE. Jed Russell bought 160 acres in Linn County,
Kansas, near Mound City. Mr. & Mrs. Patterson left for their
new home in McCook, NE. Margaret Ward Doyle died and was
buried in St. Leo's near Palmyra. Grayce Hinkle was a new
student at the high school. Coy Stoner brought peanuts to school
that his father had raised - there was a lot of discussion
between the teachers and students about the
"growing of oddities".
