From Pam in Gresham, Oregon. She has no connection with Fort Dodge, but she had discovered
this newspaper. The paper had been placed in the back of a mirror. Her sister purchased
the mirror in Montana, she knew Pam would love the mirror. When Pam went to restore
the mirror she found this piece of history, and she kindly typed the contents pertinent
to genealogy for the Webster County Web Site.
