WYNOT TRIBUNE APRIL 1, 1943

STORY ABOUT PIONEERS RESULTS IN REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

WYNOT - Shortly after a story about Wynot ladies in the 80's was printed 
recently, Miss Emma Strenzke, one of the ladies mentioned in the story, 
received a letter from a Miss Grace Jordan of Huron, SD., who had read the 
story and was interested in local history as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Peter Jordon, had lived near here in the early days. She had asked about 
old St. James and about several of the early residents of whom she had 
heard her parents speak.

The Peter Jordans according to Miss Jordan's letter, first came to this 
section about 1861 or 62. They lived on the Nebraska side of the river 
opposite Vermillion. Later they lived in a log cabin near where the 
Wiseman children were massacred and then later moved east of Vermillion, 
where Miss Jordan was born. She says she remembers her mother speaking 
of the Wiseman massacre and of the Brooky Bottom family.

Miss Strenzke sent a letter to Miss Jordan giving her as much information 
as possible about early local history.
