Peeking in the past

10 years ago (1995)"Hills-Beaver Creek School District residents will go to the polls on Tuesday, May 16, to elect two board members to three-year terms. Incumbents Dan Siegfried and Eugene Sandager are seeking re-election to the board. Both have served one three-year term. Beaver Creek’s Lloyd DeBoer has also put his name on this year’s ballot."25 years ago (1980)"The Beaver Creek State Bank was recently accepted into the National Register of Historical Places. The honor is given to special buildings considered worthy of preservation. Placement of the property makes it eligible for federal grants for preservation purposes."50 years ago (1955)"The juvenile population of our community is enjoying real fall carnival enjoyment this week on account of a gayly painted pony Merry-go-round and Kiddy-car ride having set up business on the empty lots across the street from the band stand. One remarkable thing about the hurdy-gurdy organ is that the music ground out is all nice, clean music, with a lilt and swing from the gay nineties and on, instead of the usual hot tom-tom banshee stuff that rasped the nerves of music lovers the past decade. It’s good business, too, as it draws the old folks around and makes them easy marks for extra nickels." 75 years ago (1930)"A.A. Anderson tendered his resignation yesterday as vice president of the First & Farmers National Bank in order to give his undivided attention to real estate loans and a general brokerage business. He expects to open an office in Luverne in the near future, says the Rock County Herald." 100 years ago (1905)"The board of health the past week has been getting after persons who have been in the habit of burying dead horses and cows in close proximity to the business portion of our town. This is a proper move and the board of health should be commended for their action in this matter and should have the support of all good citizens."
