Wahoo Democrat 50th Anniversary Edition

September 17, 1936

This images for this issue were donated by Bruce Schwenke. His Mother was Bernadine Bruce Schwenke. Her Father was Eric Petrus Bruce and her mother was Edla Eskelson. After Eric died, Edla married Dave Anderson. Eric is buried at Malmo and Edla and Dave are buried in Wahoo.

These images are very large and may take a while to download on a slow connection. I hope to eventually OCR the images so that we will have searchable text files available.
