Seward Independent, October 27,1943

We are using the Quarantine to go through old files and papers that made the move up here to Brookdale. Elaine pulled out this October 27, 1943 Seward Independent that was "saved" because of relatives: Herrold and Petri's being listed "in the Service now".  Robert Herrold and Maxine Petri are brother and sister  and the only children of Leonard and Elsie Herrold. Maxine married Lee Petri before going into the service. Elaine's father Albert Flowerday and Elsie were brother and sister. Elaine served as local contact when Maxine was buried here in Seward a few years ago.
The Seward Indipendent newpaper was owned by: Wm H. Smith, Editor and Publisher, and available to residents of Seward County, NE for $1.50/year. It was 16 inches wide and typically had 8 pages. It is a "keeper" for historic information
