Reminiscences From Forty Years Past In Diller Area
This week recalls events from forty years ago in the Diller Beatrice and surrounding area. Glenn Mills visits grandparents in Council Bluffs while J B Wright and others farm and market near D R Kelley with yields of 19 bushels per acre and 334 bushels per acre of barley. A double wedding occurred in Beatrice in July 1903 and marriages linked to Beatrice and Lanham. Cars laden with cattle and hogs valued near 4000 dollars were shipped from the Henrichs farm near Diller. A scythe accident befalls Elmer James, and cabbage sells for 4 cents per pound as rye, corn and market notes surface.
