Karen Johns and Carol Gobber

Saturday the Otoe County Genealogical Society met at the 

Syracuse Library to hear a presentation by Karen Johns about

teaching at a rural school. It was fun and very interesting. Of all

those who attended, only two didn't go to a rural school. Recess

stories were shared as well as outhouse "issues", school

programs and picnics, 8th grade examinations and graduations,

and learning then versus learning now. If you get a chance to 

hear Johns speak, don't miss it!  Thank you Carol Gobber 

for your assistance!

Condolences to the many family and friends of 

Nora Snyder, who passed away. She was laid to

rest at Osage Cemetery.

Sunday, the Boardman clan gathered at the Unadilla Park

shelter to welcome the newest additions to the family: Sutton

Sabatka, Beckem Landwehr, and Mickey Loy Boardman.

The Oldest Generation: Barb, Mary, Jim, Larry, Rod

 

All five of the "oldest genereation" attended, and as usual 

there was more than enough to eat. Everyone commented on 

our beautiful park and shelters, and the playground equipment

got lots of use. We had hoped for a game of "workup" but

in the end it was football and soccer. LOTS of photos were

taken and heirlooms were passed down to the next 

generation.

Steve Vodicka reminds us that the Rescue Squad will

be holding a garage sale in the Park on Saturday,

October 13. They are accepting donations of items to sell

and all proceeds will go towards the purchase of the self

loading gurney.

Continued get well wishes to Rose Marie Brandt, Sandy

Denton, and Phil Willnerd.

Some of you have received a letter from the American

Cancer Society asking for a donation for the Unadilla All

Fund Drive - this is NOT connected to our drive. We're not

asking you not to donate if you wish, but asking that you

remember our drive is coming up soon and the money we

collect stays in our community, theirs does not.

Did you know...Nebraska has aquifers below it? If poured over

the surface of the state, the water in those aquifers would have

a depth of 37.9 feet. The state has 96,547 registered, active

irrigation wells supplying water to over 8.3 million acres of

harvested cropland and pasture. Of the total cropland

harvested in 2012, 44% was irrigated.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 9-20-1918, The Otoe Union:

"George (Shorty) Rose, the all around man, helped Paul

Hair Wednesday in the chicken business." Carson Davis and

family were moving to Frontier County. Mrs. Henry Massie

received a letter from her son, Billy, "Mother, I am at the front

somewhere along the line and every day sounds just like the

fourth of July...it was a year ago tonight that I left Unadilla.

I hope it is not another year before I see the little old town

again." (Billy was killed in France, 3-17-1919, never

having see home again.)
