How very unusual...and no date of publication (handwritten "Nov 1964").

I always enjoy transcribing these clippings! Lots of great genealogical information out there for someone (and most likely for my tree as well, but no connection yet...lots of names I recognize though!). Made sure I checked on FindAGrave to see if this grave was on there. A little information for Nicholas and Anna was, but no pictures. Requested...hopefully someone can get a picture when all that snow melts!
Have fun tending those roots!
