NORTH LIBERTY By Gladys Sheneman Just want you all to know that I wasn’t sick last week or that I went to California to see Dennis or I went to Florida as so many of you thought. I didn’t write because no one called me with news and since the weather was so cold and snowy, 1 sure didn’t go anywhere, therefore, I didn’t have any news. I hear some of you really tore that paper apart looking for my news. Will let you all know when I go on vacation.

So best wishes from all your relatives and friends, Cecile. A truck driver who delivers groceries to Five Star ask how North Liberty got it’s name, so since I do have the history, I had to look it up. Liberty Township was suppose to be the first township to be settled in the county and since it is in the northwest portion of Liberty Township, they decided to call it North Liberty. Back in 1866 since it was twice its current size, it was divided and Lincoln Township was formed. Did you all know how North Liberty got its name? Sorry, I didn’t either until I looked it up. Do you know what the first newspaper was called? Guess. Will tell you next week. Many are still having the flu and bad colds. Did your mother ever use goose grease with a little turpentine, when she thought you were getting a bad cold? She would smear that icky stuff all over your chest and then the whole mess was topped with a wool cloth to hold the heat in. And if that didn’t work she would make a mustard plaster. Do you old timers remember these remedies? Yes, I remember and there was also the onion plaster and this was used to clear up congestion. Who would ever think of using these old-fash-ioned cured today? Goldie Skinner, who has been a resident in the Miller’s Merry Manor Nursing Home in Walkerton went to the home of her son, Herald Hostetler, on Monday where she will be staying and is improving. So please remember her. Many of you know Harley Baughman who is spending the winter in Sebring, Florida.
