PROGRAM: Continuation of Show & Tell
BROWSE NITE: 20 Oct 2003 7 p.m.

Our crowd was not the largest in September and we know of some excellent finds this past summer, and we also want to give these members a chance to tell of their finds and we also enjoy learning about them. We are sorry to announce that Gloria Jacoby, our society secretary has resigned her position, due to health problems within their family. Both she and Dick have had a rough summer with health problems. We are now seeking a temporary secretary to fill her position until election for 2004 is held in Jan-Feb calendar year. It requires only that you keep a set of minutes and read them at the meeting - not a difficult position.

A most interesting program was held on September 18th at the Fremont City Auditorium. It was in regard to the Lewis & Clark Trek from St Louis to the west coast, but the person represented was Sacagawea and given by Amy Mossett who is a member of the Mandan & Hidatsa tribes in North Dakota. This was sponsored by Friends of the Library(Fremont) and Fremont Parks & Recreation. It was free to the public and held twice on the 18th, in the afternoon and again in the evening. Some very good history was given and I’m sure everyone enjoyed the evening.

Two of our members, Margie Sobotka and Nellie Snell are going to the Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International 2003 Genealogical/Cultural Conference in Houston TX 15-18 October 2003. Now you ladies understand, we expect a program in November. We have many members with Czech background that will be most interested in your trip.

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS A SURPRISE

Marion James and Miss Emily Herre United
Will Make Home in Arizona
The wedding of Miss Emily Herre to Marion O James occurred at 8 o’clock last evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr and Mrs C F Herre, 437 Logan street.
The affair was an exceedingly quiet one, the ceremony being performed by the Rev C W Weyer in the presence of the relatives and a few intimate friends of the contracting parties. The pair took their places unattended.
After the solemn words had been spoken a dainty course of refreshments were served, and later a social period was enjoyed. The couple were made the recipients of a number of handsome wedding presents.
Mr & Mrs James departed this morning for the west on a wedding trip which will take them to their future home at Prescott Arizona. The groom has recently secured a position in a shoe store at that place.
The only guests from out-of-town present at the wedding were the Misses Orra and Essie James of Iowa, sisters of the groom.
