A story about a bad fire on Lincoln's main street: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/fire1896.htm Two stories about hail storms that hit in the summer of 1896. These stories detail all the damage done to crops, etc. There are some AMAZING descriptions of hail in these stories that a Kansas resident can relate to! http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/storm1896.htm http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/2storm1896.htm A list of township officers in 1896 (check this out; I found 2-3 ancestors in there): http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/officers1896.htm A brief history of the start of the Sylvan City Cemetery: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/sylvancem.htm A story about a fight between William Mollenkamp and Rein Wohler: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/scrape1896.htm A story about two former Lincoln residents who got into a fight in a Colorado mining town -- and one ended up dead. http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/killing1896.htm Tracee
