Fundraiser Held for Denver Schoolhouse

A fundraiser was held Saturday evening for the Denver Schoolhouse. Dinner was served at 6, followed by an auction at 7.

Helen Foster said that current goals were to put in folding doors to cut down on energy costs and put in kitchen cabinets. Currently, LaDora Combs is working on an inventory list of everything that is currently at the museum. She also donated a collection of obituaries dating back to 1863, which is the oldest such collection in the county. She also is working on a large collection of funeral cards dating back to 1901, which she says will help families find gravesites if the obituary is incorrect or didn't list one. The Worth County Partnership Library allowed her to borrow materials for her latest projects.
