ways hold a place in our hearts as
our parents and grandparents were
some of the very first pioneers. My
grandfather. Dr. A. L. Childs, was in
strumental in establishing Nebraska

grandfather, Thomas Thomas, Sr. in
the very early days, kept a stage
house where freighters stopped and
sometimes bands of Indians spent the
night with the family. They called
my grandmother 'Good Su3an.
"We still own Willview, the farm
north of town, and Mr. Will will
probably be back in Plattsmouth in
the spring to look after the farm.
"Yours truly,
"MAY E. WILL."
