Claire has purchased and donated the following microfilmed newspapers to our collection:

Hooper Sentinel  15 Aug 1901 thru 14 Apr 1910 
Dodge Criterion 2 Jan 1903 thru 16 Mar 1906 
Scribner Rustler 17 Dec 1903 thru 2 May 1907 
North Bend Eagle, two rolls  21 Jan 1904 thru 7 Jul 1910(to correspond with the previous index of the old newspapers).

A new index was made for Volume B, C, D, and E.  Now the WPA index begins to make sense on the microfilm, as it covers information from 1906(new law enactment) and you can almost find the correct pages.  Claire hopes to have additional page information as to how to use it in the near future. 

Also to be completed in the fall will be Dodge County Marriages, Volume 13.  This will be the last ones printed as we are up into the 1910 plus era.  

The fall quarterly is about finished and ready for printing, Claire is still finding new tricks with her computer, but reports it is getting easier for her.  In spite of some difficulties, probably brought on by hitting a key she shouldn’t have, it does help her.

Marlene Heinsohn has been "under the weather"-her heart has been giving her a problem.  She probably got a bit excited with all her new family finds on the Isle of Fehmarn.
