Forty Years Ago in Diller and Nearby
Forty years ago last Sunday Ed Howard lost his barn northwest of Diller with contents. John Hayworth Jr became a clerk at Sparks Folkers store. Campbell Bros announced an April 2 opening show in Fairbury. A dry goods store scene and a joke about unrolling goods followed. The Missouri river bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs was noted as a large drawspan built in 1893. Brook sold potatoes for 125 per bushel. Mr F D Carr, a leading farmer, renewed four copies of the Record for friends in the east.
