Who's Who in Whisker Club
There were several members of the Hall County Whisker Club that were recognized by many of the Nebraskans, or the county’s residents. “Who Who’s in Whisker Club” presents these few men who had held significant positions and were noted in the club in 1932, when this club was created. In hope, we will attempt to create a general biography and any known accomplishments on everyone. We hope you’ll enjoy reading these pages and review some of the names of the members of the club at that time. We hope you find your some of your ancestors. Thank you for your patron.
