Gera Stilwell reports: The Unadilla, Paisley, and surrounding area are
featured in a quilt at the Nebraska State Historical Society,
15th & P Streets, Lincoln. It is part of a quilt display about the 1862
Homestead Act. There are 420 names embroidered on the quilt
and the center says "Paisley Pioneers 1894". The quilt was finished
by Maude Luff of Palmyra. The Society has given permission for
the quilt to be photographed by visitors. Also on the 3rd floor
is a display of the art of John Falter, Falls City, who did so many
wonderful magazine covers. The only Nebraska Miss America,
2011, has gowns and other items exhibited. On the first floor,
there is a fine display of Terri Lee dolls (they are similar to
American Girl dolls and were made in Lincoln in the 1950's).

Mark your calendars for Unadilla's city-wide garage slaes and
BBQ on June 22nd. We will again be hosting a Lil' Tugger's
Tractor pull on the tennis court, musical entertainment will be
provided by the Southeast Community Band, horseshoe
tournament, sand volleyball tournament, and water slide
for the kids.
***
A reminder that dog licenses will expire on April 30th. Please have
a current copy of your dog's rabies vaccination when you renew.

My sister, Mary Hanke, and myself were excited to learn that
we have been accepted into the Mayflower Society,
as descendants of Francis Cooke. For now this completes
our journey to the shores of Europe. If you would like help
with your family history, please come to our next OCGS
workshop or meeting.

Did you know that Americans use more than 14 billion paper
cups every year? That's enough to circle the earth 55 times.
