Memories of the Past Fifty Years Ago in Diller
Dr Roe Gale moved to Belvidere to take a post. Sparks and Fouts elected to the school board replacing expired terms. Local residents visit, sales occur, and a new sidewalk goes in front of Nelson’s store. School census shows 177 children. 92 boys and 85 girls. Fire in Wymore destroys several two story brick buildings. Many small items recount community life, travel, and local business activity.
