January 8, 1891 Dodge County Pionier

January 8, 1891 Dodge County Pionier City residents welcomed the new year with Sylvester Eve balls at Turner Hall and Herberg’s Hall. On New Year’s Day there was rain which later turned to snow, but it was not enough to allow sleighing. Public school pupils had extra vacation days because someone opened ventilator doors, allowing the heating pipes to freeze and burst. Emeron Bachhuber
