Bayfield, Colorado - Hey! Hope you had a great Easter weekend? NW Okie just ran across this old Easter photo of two little girls at their grandma's house in Alva, Oklahoma around 1945. They posed with their mother, Vada Eileen Paris McGill in their easter bonnets. Dorthy, on the left, must have been about a year old or around that age.

Highland county, Virginia - As to this week's look back at Highland County, Virginia schoolhouse, that is unknown. But the earliest teacher of whom we know about was William Steuart. Steuart taught regularly from the time of his arrival about 1755, and appeared to have been well educated, especially in mathematics. |

America - The Bisbee Daily Review, dated Tuesday morning, 9 April 1912, in Bisbee, Arizona had this headline in the news, "Votes For Women But Power To Legislate Not Included In Measure passed By House."

Lynch pays his respects to worshippers of the constitution who fail to show the progressive spirit in their acts. Graham scores points against the bill. Butterfield Overland Trail
America - Remembering the Butterfield Overland Trail, the longest stagecoach route from Tipton, Missouri to San Francisco, California of yesterday. The route took passengers and mail from Tipton, Missouri through Arkansas and then turning west to end in San Francisco.
