Cheyenne County Notes On Schools And Fort Sidney Happenings
In Cheyenne County fifty nine years ago twenty school districts were active or forming with new openings after April meetings. Fort Sidney reports gravel paths and a social hop at the post theater with the string band premiering new music. A mound behind the target stands is named Mount Miles in honor of Captain Miles as soldiers study military law. Local stores prepare to move, land farming returns, and Easter bonnet work continues amid county events and conventions. Thirty years ago a grain boom sees high yields from spelts with flour from a local mill and court activity headlines the real estate market.
