Memories From Diller 25 Years Ago In 1916
News and notes from Diller and area 25 years ago recall John Spechtz visiting Hardy Arkansas to settle a land claim, Dr Hepperlins treating Wm Plager’s daughter for appendicitis, and Howard Linville transferring to Odell. Local sports star Cal Waggoner led shooting in St Joseph with 98 percent. Ruth Lamb and Lawrence Blauser wed at the Lamb home with Rev Carmony officiating. Revival services at Diller Presbyterian mark the week as Rev Dixon preaches Hell to a small crowd. Visits from Robt W Jeffryes family and Diller ties to Blue Springs and Iowa are noted alongside shifting farms, hotel moves, and small town comings and goings. Market prices appear with grain and livestock figures as the community updates on schools, teachers, and local health concerns from half a century earlier.
