Chester, Nebraska - items from the past.

Now talk about something going on your permanent record! Here is Flora Murrell's 1st grade report card. Fortunatly, Flora was a good student and doesn't have to worry about seeing her report card on the internet. Her grades were all in the low-mid 90's. She also got excellent grades in "Deportment", and missed only 2 days all year. I was also able to see that Flora graduated in 1930 in a class of 23. So it seems that this report card could be from Alexandria, which is about 26 miles from Chester.

Some things I found on ebay from Chester's past. (if you have any info on these items, please e-mail.)

Postcard from Sell Pharmacy
Below is an image of the Sell Pharmacy. I hear that this was 'the' place to go in Chester for the kids after high school. It was a real pharmacy, meaning that the pharmacist created the medicines, and didn't just dispense pills. In the back, there were some tables and chairs, and a counter along one side. This location is now the south side of the bank.

Here's a label from the Sell Pharmacy. I'm not sure of the age.
