Closing
From the March 20, 1900 edition of a Washington County or Yuma County newspaper
County Coordinator note: The foregoing program was poorly transcribed from a newspaper described as
the Akron News-Reporter. However, the ANR didn't come into existence until 1929 when RB Cooley merged
the Akron News and the Akron Reporter.
I have re-arranged the entries under broad catagories such as Recitations, Songs, etc. so
it is no longer in the order performed if, indeed, it was in chronological order in the first place.
