Memories of Past Twenty Five Years Reach Local Readers
This week marks 25 years since various local residents recorded in the Wymore area engaged in activities from selling Ford cars to visiting relatives in Kansas. Notables include S J Senior selling Fords, W E Anderson visiting kin in Kansas, and Rex Green journeying to Lincoln to see his mother. Houses, cars, and family milestones thread through remembered events with names like J A Pickard & Company, Louisa Upson, Willie Bowers, and the Tomem akers, alongside a near severed finger incident and a silver wedding anniversary for Hasel Edington and Joseph LePoidevin.
