Mares Meeting Room

PROGRAM: GLASS NEGATIVES
presented by J L Doksansky “Doc”
BROWSE NIGHT: 24 Jun 2002
Margie Sobotka gave our members a very good program on the 1930 federal
census and some of the pitfalls. She also had handouts for the group
showing comparisons of the past and present census as to what has been
eliminated and what is new.
In reading the May issue of the Lincoln-Lancaster Co Gen Society
newsletter, noted is “May I remind you that the 1930 Census IS NOT INDEXED
for Nebraska and most other states.” In the large cities it will
be difficult to locate your persons unless you know the Ward, or address.
City directories, if available, should be helpful.
Our Census films have arrived for Colfax, Cuming, Dodge, Saunders and
Washington counties. Colfax and Cuming are on the same roll of film.
Claire is happy to report that she has finished the steam pressing of
the rolled Hooper Sentinel newspapers. Some were easy and some were
in very bad shape. A total of 40 rolls of tape was used to mend the
pages so they can be handled. It was a very fragile project.
HOOPER CAN CLAIM OLDEST LIBRARIAN
IN STATE
The oldest librarian in Nebraska (perhaps in the world) is Rev Joel
Warner of Hooper, now in his eighty-fifth year. He is still actively
and keenly interested in the development of the public library there.
Mr Warner has been a resident of Nebraska for fifty-eight years, most of
them spent as minister of Presbyterian churches. He has been candidate
on the Prohibition party ticket for governor and has lived to see a dry
nation – once regarded as an impossible dream. In the winter of 1865-6
Mr Warner taught school in Bellevue and organized there the first literary
society in the state so far as his information goes. His active memory
recalls the great prairie fire which swept over Elk Hill at Bellevue, afterward
the site of Bellevue college. It was like a scene from Dante’s Inferno.
Mr Warner writes: “In those years as soon as the grass was dry in
the fall, the great fires would sweep over the prairie and destroy all
vegetation, leaving the roots exposed to the sun’s rays, the winter’s frost,
and fierce winds. It was no wonder that emigrants who passed over
the country late in the fall or early in the spring pronounced it a desert
land, since far as the eye could reach nothing was seen but the blackened
prairie.” – Nebraska Historical Society Bulletin.

ANOTHER MANUFACTORY
We are glad to announce that Mrs J W Peebles has her Hoop Skirt Factory
now in running order. We have seen some of her make as of this article
and pronounce them not only equal, but far better than those manufactured
in the case. Ladies can leaver their orders as perfect satisfaction
is guaranteed.

STORM
Mr J B Robinson of Pebble, informs us that on Thursday last, during
the storm in the western part of the country, a fine horse, belong to Mr
Fred Baker, was struck by lightning, and killed instantly. Mr Baker
was holding the horse, at the time of the shock, and so much of the electric
fluid passed through the halter strap and into his body, as to cause paralysis
for two days. Mr B is now recovering and able to stir about a little.
Mr Baker resides about six miles north east of the town of Pebble.
From Mr Robinson, we also learn that a strip of country, some six miles
wide, stretching from Glencoe to Mr Dickerson’s near North Bend, has been
stripped entirely of growing crops.

WINSLOW ICE HOUSE BURNS
Fire of unknown cause totally destroyed the ice house at Winslow last
Friday morning. The fire was discovered short after 7:30 o’clock
and had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the building,
the firemen and citizens devoting most of their time in protecting the
nearby homes of John Urban & Henry Schutt. The Hooper chemical made
the run to Winslow to aid in controlling the fire. The ice house
had not been used for several years.
