NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 1-19-2012, The Otoe Union:
J.H. Kelly had the newest wallpaper books. The temperature was
30 below zero. Emerson Van Horn lost a valuable horse to
"the corn stalk disease". Editorial: "Unadilla has one of the grittiest
schoolmams in the county. She has walked six miles every day to
her school in the country and returned in the evening, has never missed
a day or been tardy, and has taught three years in the same
district. It is no other than our own little Anna Cowel."
