Peggy Carey kindly sent a stack of clippings from some issues of the Oquawka Spectator, and they are being posted here as they are typed. Some of the copies are difficult to read, and if I'm not sure of a name, I am placing a question mark behind it. (Please let me know if you spot an error!) Enjoy these!
