STRATTON — The Dead River Area Historical Society will pay tribute to Sybil Fotter, an area nurse for many years, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1. The event will be hosted by her son, Bill, and his wife, Anna Smart, and any of her grandchildren that are available to help with the presentation.

Residents are invited to join in sharing stories of Sybil. Those interested are asked to put their stories down on paper so they can be added it to her album.

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.

The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every weekend during July and August. For more information, call Mary Henderson at 246-2271.
