Coos-Curry Pioneer Club Inches Toward Curator Hires
At the monthly Coos Curry Pioneer and Historical Association meeting on Saturday the 14th the curator hire failed due to funds. Ralph Stephens and Mrs Mary Randleman volunteered without pay as the museum gains new items and improvements including shelves and banisters built with lumber donated by George Burr. The exhibit list grows with a handmade spinning wheel from the Women’s Civic Club of Coos Bay and items from the estate of William H Schroeder. Mrs Esther Brandt donated $10 for the museum.
