Entry in the Lindstrom Book

Roy Aldin Lindstrom typewrote the following on Sidney's family (formatting retained).

Sidney and Alice had two children Dorothy Alice and Lewis Lee, the following is a quote from a letter I received for Lewis and I take the liberty of including it, in this history.

"My childhood years were spent on the family farm located 10 North and 3/4 mile West of Holdrege, Nebraska. I have on Sister Dorothy, born Oct. 16, 1929. Dorothy and I attended School at Dist. #30, a one room country school, then completed four years at Holdrege High School.

My sister Dorothy married, Albert Buttel from Hastings, Nebr. on Feb. 23, 1952, they have three children, Teresa, Allen, and Jennifer. Dorothy and Albert now live in Hanover, Kansas. Albert was employed by the Union Pacific Railroad, and was transferred to Hanover, several years ago from Hastings, Nebraska. Teresa is married and lives in Hanover, Allen is married and is in Law School in Lawrence, Kansas, Jennifer is employed and lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Outstanding childhood memories include the drought and dust storms of the 1930's, the occasional hail storms, tornadoes, and other adversities endured by the Nebraska farmers.

There were good times too, like the Lindstrom family gatherings on Christmas Eve, Softball games in Loomis, and the love and labor shared by good neighbors and friends.
