History of Interest Items in Sidney Vicinity
From the Telegraph files A R Dumphy head of the air mail division in Cheyenne visited Sidney proposing an emergency landing field for future air service. A merry party attended a Lodge Pole event, a hunting party chased coyotes near Jumbo Lake, and Paul D Hornby married Verna C Anderson. Years ago the UP and SP planned track improvements, a high school oyster supper funded shower baths, a ten pound boy born near Sidney, and wedding anniversaries marked. Four decades ago a masquerade dance funded firehouse repairs, a Central House hotel sale, and a blizzard left cattle starving. Carrie Nation caravaned through town. 1901 westbound excursion tickets to California offered. Forty-four years ago a Catholic fair succeeded, prize wins noted, and two men frozen near Sidney while seeking home. The push for Pullman colonial sleepers highlighted evolving travel options.
