Nebraska Semi Centenary Fair Preparations Under Way
Plans for Nebraska’s Semi Centennial Fair emphasize patriotism and government service during wartime. The event, set to open soon, features major exhibits on farm products and livestock to boost food production, plus the largest amusements program yet. Camping at the fairgrounds is popular, with large families and a Boys’ Camp area drawing attendees. Also reported is the death of Fred Brockmeyer, longtime Jansen druggist, at age 68 after declining surgery, survived by his wife and eight children. The article notes his German birth in 1850 and migration to Nebraska, detailing his life in Jefferson County and leadership in local business.
