Remembering some Christmas pasts
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[50]
[WAYITWAS-2000-50]
Christmas is fast approaching with its wonderful traditions and not so wonderful "still-have-to-do" moments. Records of earlier celebrations allow us a glimpse of some of the same traditions but also of a slower, seemingly more peaceful season.

Settlers relied on their own skills
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[48]
[WAYITWAS-2000-48]
Health care has always been a concern to the families settling in a new area. Early pioneers had to rely on their skills and knowledge, treating common ailments with herbs and other substances then thought to be beneficial. Almost every housewife had her own stash of medicinal supplies with which to doctor her family. Some women gained quite a lot of experience and people would seek them out for advice and help.

The Vanden Station Train Wreck
/
Bowen, Jerry
[44]
[WAYITWAS-2000-44]
When you read the old newspapers, it's somewhat astonishing to see how often people were injured or killed by trains in the early part of the century. Inattention, lack of adequate warnings at railroad crossings, company policies, and the insane urge to "beat" the trains through the intersection were often the reasons for the accidents.
