Ways to look up family tree by John D Rundberg
Des Moines guidance from Lida Greene Iowa historian outlines three main avenues for genealogy family Bible public records and privately published histories. Start with family Bible and elder memories then use state county records and professional genealogists for dead ends. Iowa census 1836 1925 and obituaries in Iowa museums also aid tracing lineage. Obscure sources include genealogical libraries in Des Moines Iowa City and West Des Moines.

Richland items: car theft, rental hikes, and community events
A car owned by William Reighard was stolen in Richland and recovered in Fairfield the same night after an APB by Sheriff Garry Deitrich. The Richland Lions Club raised rental fees for the Community Building by five dollars, effective Oct 23, and set new rates for part day, evening, and full registrations. Community notices include meetings, insurance rate cuts starting June 1, 1978, a hog sausage supper, harness horse business talk, Trick or Treat hours in Ollie, and local business changes in Packwood and Hedrick. An early Friday break in at First Miss. Co. in Richland caused minor coin box damage.
