1 years ago Oct. 28, 1921 Catholics buy cemetery site. The Odessa Catholic church has purchased from Joss. Reitner, two acres and a half of land just west of the Odessa cemetery, of which F.L. Kucera is now drafting a plat for a cemetery site.

Gardens are put to rest for the winter, with root crops straw-covered to protect from frost, and old vines composted to amend the soil come spring. There are apples to sauce, tomatoes to stew or turn into salsa, squash to bake and other bits of produce to put up for the winter. Where to start? Since the rind on the winter squash began to harden mid-September my mouth has been watering for a warm piece of baked squash. Winter squash have good keeping qualities if you have a dry...

DAVENPORT-Mike and Virginia Fries remember buying Edna's Drive-In in May 1992 not knowing when they'd re-open its doors after it was closed for 18 months following Edna Jackson's passing. They decided the highest customer demand would be during Pioneer Days, so they opened July 16, 1992. That was a decision Virginia Fries remembers regretting, but now looks back at with a laugh. "We were so swamped, and we hadn't practiced how we would work together," she said. "That was the...

HARRINGTON – The Harrington Golf and Country Club closed for the season Oct. 3. Asked how the season went, General Manager Melissa Gilmore said, "Awesome!"
