The Otoe County Genealogical Society met Thursday night in the

Village Library. Blake Bell, U.S. Park Ranger at the Homestead

National Monument in Beatrice was the speaker. His main focus

was locating family through land records. The person he used as an

example was Felix Schofer, whose post office was listed as Unadilla.

He applied for a homestead in 1873 and "proved up" in 1879,

the same year he became a citizen of the United States. Schofer

received his patent in October 1880 on the N 1/2 of the NW 1/4,

Section 4, Township 9N, Range 10E. We would like to know who

lives there now. If you have old records like this, old abstracts,

funeral cards, tax papers, or any other papers of historical

significance, please donate them to the Unadilla Library resource

room for future generations.
