Tecumseh Nebraska Chieftain May 19th 1977,  my Grandma on Mom's side Grandparents.












I am going to do a transcript of it sometime and make a trip to Tecumseh and see if I can get better pictures of the family.

Glen, I remember seeing that in the paper when it came out.  (The Hickeys I knew weren't that big, by the way.)  Great story!

Actually, the Hickeys I knew were pretty small.  The Bartels, on the other hand...............
