Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Aug. 22, 1906: “Veterans who attended the Minneapolis G.A.R. Convention are back and reported they had a glorious time with reunions of old acquaintances. Everything seemed to go quite well. : Congressman Curtis was in town a couple hours on the way to a veterans reunion in Cherryvale. : Tomorrow is field day in county court. Thirteen paroled violators of the law will be asked to give an account of their conduct since their convictions to see if they merit getting out of parole status. : Aileen Weaver has received a scholarship from Barnard College for the coming winter. “
