Fairbury Leads Rock Island Exposition Ticket Sales in 1898
Fairbury sold 2600 Omaha ex position tickets the most on the Rock Island system for 1898. Isaac N Boggs and Miss Ina Stevens wed on Monday November 14 1898 at the bride’s home six miles south of town. HP Stevens moved to Wisconsin forty years ago to run his father’s farm. Isaac Boggs the son in law leased the Stevens place for a time. Charles Greenwood was shot and killed near the Burlington crossing west of town forty years ago and the case remained unsolved. A Beatrice printer humorously refused to publish a kiss. Three decades past thirty thousand bushels of new corn were delivered to the Diller elevators at 22 cents a bushel. Mrs Miller and J B Wright appointed church stewards for the Diller Methodist. The Record apologizes for omitting Addie Miller’s name from a school report and notes a long list of Milfers. The Diller Band held a benefit supper fifty years ago with ample donations. The present Diller band benefits from increased taxation. Younger generations are urged to value band privileges.
