I was the second child born to Walter and Martha [James] Seimears on July 15, 1925 in Elk County, Kansas and was named LuCretia Mae.  My parents were farmers and the land was mostly hay meadows and not very many row crops. We raised a lot of cattle, sheep and as the years went by, children.  In March of 1929 my mother passed away at the age of 23.

Women have always lent a helping hand during war time.  They’ve always been the caregivers for the sick and injured soldiers.  There were veterans groups that were formed as early as 1870 and continued until 1900. 

The quarterly meeting of VFW District 5 will take place on

In less than three weeks the post and auxiliary have worked extremely hard in our efforts to care for veterans, troops and their families.

If you are looking for a place to watch 4th of July fireworks, we have just the spot.  We have plenty of parking but bring your own chairs.  You will have a front row seat as we are located just up the hill from the display at the dam.
