NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 5-5-1911, The Otoe Union:
Unadilla's population in 1900 was 243; in 1910 it was
209. There was a push to rebuild the new buildings on
Main Street in a straight line. Most merchants were working
out of temporary buildings. A son was born to Edward
Smack near Hopewell. Ordinance #70 was passed
stating that any building erected in Block 39 (Main Street)
must be constructed of brick, stone, or other incombustible
material and have a fire-proof roof.
