HAVE YOU SEEN DEAR GENIE? This is a query and help column prepared under the auspices of the Linn County Heritage Society, a Chapter of the Iowa Genealogical Society. This worth-while column has been appearing in the Sunday edition of the Cedar Rapids Gazette since January 1973. Requirements are that the questions should have an Iowa connection, must be kept to a fifty-word limit and be clearly printed or typed. Questions should be sent directly to Dear Genie, P. 0. Box 175, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52406. The wide circulation this column has had during its short life is amazing.

THE FOURTH IN BUFFALO COUNTY

The Fourth in Kearney was very quiet and had it not been for a slight display of fire works might have been mistaken for Sunday. Most of our citizens to Hastings, some to Elm Creeks while others went to Wood river, and some of those who stayed at home assembled together and sang patriotic songs underneath the old flag. The day was after the style of a good old fashioned 4th of July, hot enough for any one with the thermometer marking about 100 in the shade most of the day and a hot wind blowing from the south, hot enough to curl the hair on your head.

At Shelton they had a glorious old time. Gen. CONNER, of this city, told them how and when our fore-fathers planted the tree of liberty as a roost for the grand old eagles and our worthy mayor, Mr. CAMPBELL, lent his presence to give tone to the entertainment. The ladies of that section of country spread one of the finest dinners that was ever partaken of in the state. All had a good time.

At Elm Creek F. G. HAMER and J.D. SEAMAN spread themselves in good styles emblematical of the wide spread wings of the historical bird.
