Thank you to all the members of this great community that joined

Don called Wilmont home his entire life. He was surrounded by
wonderful people that looked out for him - by direct contact or
silently ensuring he was doing okay.
We will all miss him in our own way. Events that he joined in on random visits for coffee, phone calls, fishing trips, hunting, tractor
rides, bonfires, church, and community gatherings that he will
now be present in spirit.
We acknowledge your care and friendship in his life and
are sincerely grateful for all you have done for him throughout
the years.

FAMED AUTHOR TO VISIT THE AREA IN JUNE
William Kent Krueger has sold over one million books, has been on
the New York Times Best Selling Books List, and has won many
awards for his book, including the acclaimed Ordinary Grace; and
his Cork O’Connor mystery/thriller series, which are set in

personal appearances, thanks to Minnesota Legacy Grants. The
three sponsoring libraries include: Adrian Branch Library, Nobles
County Library in Worthington, and Rock County Library in Luverne.
Krueger will be visiting the libraries in Adrian, Worthington, and
Luverne. These author visits are funded in part or in whole with
money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4,
2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s arts and
cultural heritage. The programs are free and open to the public.
Krueger’s first author talk will take place at the Adrian Elementary
School on Tuesday, June 7, at 7:00 p.m. On
Wednesday, June 8, Krueger will visit the Rock
County Library in Luverne at 1:00 p.m.; and he will

store.
The M. M. McCann’s and Peter Baltis families, who were
quarantined for scarlet fever, were let out last Saturday.
The old jail building was moved onto the village lot by the fire
house last Tuesday. Ned Smith moved his shoe shop and cream
station into it Thursday and J. N. Nicolay moved his jewelry stock
into the room vacated by Smith.
Tidbits
When starching children’s pinafores, add a small piece of sugar
to the boiled starch. This will make them iron more easily and
leave a beautiful gloss on them.
Women are more and more crowding men out of all lines of
work. They begin to be dissatisfied with doing all the housework,
most of the chores and even help in the fields during the busy
season, while their “men” strut around town boasting how much
money they made last year or how much they got for their hogs,
never mentioning that their wives fed the hogs. Such an
unreasonable state of things leads to dangerous complications.

The photo this week is from inside Huisenga Grocery. On Wednesday and Saturday nights everyone from miles around would come to
town to do their shopping. Some of the women would sit in the gro-

cery store and visit. The women in this picture are (L-R) Mrs. George
(Carrie) Probst, Mrs. Nick (Anna) Probst, and Mrs. Gaul. Not sure if
the third person in correct. If anyone recognizes this lady and can
let me know the first name or if “Gaul” is the correct name, contact
