Spring is here!!

 





The gopher is out,
The winter has gone.
The bluebird's about,
Hear the meadowlark's song.

This delightful "ode to spring" little poem was published in the Cheney Sentinel  newspaper on 28 March 1890. Was it penned by a subscriber? Good way to sell more copies of that paper......

Did your ancestor ever have a story, poem, photo or drawing published in the newspaper? If you've not looked, then you don't really know, do you?
