Gene Watermeier

Condolences to the many friends and family of Gene Watermeier, who passed away Saturday, March 1.

The Scott Hitzemann family were weekend visitors at the home of Bob & Barb Wilhelm.

A large crowd attended the funeral of former resident, Jeanne Peaarson, Thursday, February 27. Such a musical family, and many of them shared special songs and stories. She will be at rest in the Unadilla Cemetery.

The bitter cold weather and the threat of snow diminished the turn out for many events held over the weekend. This isn't what you promised us Unadilla Bill!

March is Women's History Month. Do you know the history of the women in your life?
