Chester Civil War Veteran: An early pioneer of Liberty township, Kansas and Chester, Daniel Edward Swaney, 1845, PA- 1934, KS and his wife Catherine Jane Amon. Daniel lost his arm in the Civil War battle of Gettysburg. He managed to make the trip back to Gettysburg for a reunion after living in Chester for several years. My understanding is that he was honored at Chester's July 4th parades for several years. He & his wife are buried in the Chester cemetery.

Dakota Cherney is excited about his summer internship with the Nebraska Community Foundation. The internship fits his interests, because he certainly cares about hometowns.The Jr Bulldogs hosted a Retro Drive-in Movie Night on July 18, 2020. The evening started with a performance by the Luttrell-McLaughlin Band. Then the movie "Cars" was shown.
It's estimated we had about 150 people attend in a 'socially distant' setting.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this a great success!
