Rivers records show local milestones across decades
A century of notes recalls the 1915 Rivers Fire Department forming a football team with Charles Blandford as captain, the 1925 Easter exam high average by Laura Shanks, and a 1945 Roosevelt memorial service. Later items touch on 1985 water upgrades, 1975 school expansion, and community awards and births through 2005 including curling titles and local auctions.
