Wayne Hill Remembered for Pioneer Polk Life and Laughter
Hazel Hill recalls Wayne "Pop" Hill, Polk's 98 year old storyteller. He shared memories of pioneer days on 80 acres near York County, including ice ponds, shuck mattresses, base burner warmth, corn shuck feathering, box socials, square dancing, and family tales from Oregon to Nebraska. He valued progress from electrification and machines.
