STRATTON — The Dead River Area Historical Society will pay tribute to second-grade teacher Nyra Stevens from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 31.

“Memories of Nyra Stevens” will not be a presentation by anyone in particular but a gathering of her many students telling memories and remembering Mrs. Stevens. There are many pictures of students and teachers in the museum.

On display in the museum are artifacts, manuscripts and photographs that have been donated or loaned by interested townspeople and descendants of original families of the Dead River Region.

Collections from 1850 on include old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads.

For more information, call Mary Henderson 246-2271.
