1970: Hartington FFA Chapter is organized

Sept. 22, 1955

HARTINGTON—The East Bow Creek near Wynot is dry, and according to some of the early residents, this is the first time in their memory this has happened. The West Bow Creek, two miles west of town, along the Fritz Schroeder farm, is also dry, but this is not the first time this has happened. It is believed the West Bow went dry for the first time in September, 1933.
