Pekin Hospital Bill from 1937


Height of the depression era. Notice the breakdown of costs for over 10 days in the hospital. Total bill of $49.95 will hardly get you inside the door today. I notice you paid extra for the "special nurse" meals.

Adcox and Schurter families


Again I apologize for not having dates for either of these pictures. Bill and brother John Schurter are in the upper photo with Paul Woerner. My Uncle Vic is in the lower picture. Notice the corn was "making between 105-110 bushels to the acre."
