Looking at Life as It Used to Be 1910 and 1930 Notes
A collage of local life from 1910 and 1930 includes obituaries and health notes, marriages, births, and small-town events. It records Fred Schumacher death at 26, Mrs. Mary Carstensen surgery, a week-old infant’s death, and local market prices. It also notes Iola Kuker’s operation, a couple’s birth, car accidents near Tripoli, Henry Haase’s death, sugar rationing forms, school play cast, and community fires, marriages, and Red Cross totals. Residents travel, rail and farm life, and weather impacts frame the era.
