What's New

We urge you to attend the Memorial Day Service

at your local cemetery on Monday May 26.

Another fun event has been added to the Unadilla

Day schedule. The Wachiska Audubon Society will

host a program entitled "Meet the Insect" at the

Dieken Praire, for 5-12 year olds.

Containers and nets will be provided.

Questions should be directed to

Bob Brandt, 402-828-3210.

John & Gera Stilwell were Mother's Day supper guests of

David & Amy Stilwell, Lincoln. Also attending were

Roger Prochazka and Megan Rowlett.

Russell Precinct has over 500 registered voters, and Tuesday,

May 13, enough of you voted to reach a 28% turnout. I'm told

that's very good for an "off year" election. There were two

first time voters, Jemma Romine and Turner Moore. What a

sense of duty they have. Those serving on the election board

were: Alberta Block, Carolyn Kastens, Barb Wilhelm,

Peggy Leefers, and Maureen Vogt.

See you in November!

Dillon Jones, great-nephew of John & Gera Stilwell,

graduated from UNL with a Bachelor of Science in

Education degree. He was honored with a dessert

reception at the home of his parents,

Kurt & Jill Jones, Palmyra.

Representatives from the Unadilla Volunteer Fire Dept.

attended the 2014 Nebraska State Fire School

at Grand Island last week.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 5-22-1914, The Otoe Union:

Class of 1914 motto: "Education Leads to Virtue". A son was

born to Henry Horstman's on 5-18-1914. "Henry Leefers is

building a new house on his farm 5 miles north of Unadilla."

The Christian and Methodist churches would hold a joint

service "in honor of the soldier dead". H.H. Bartling withdrew

from the state senate race. George Driver was the teacher

at Dist. #25, Eden Hill School. I guess history DOES repeat

itself, down to the day: "The past week has noted some

unusual weather conditions. On May 6th and 8th, the

temperature dropped to 34 degrees. It was down to

30 degrees on the 13th and 14th, and 32 degrees on

the 15th." Sound familiar???
