As an archivist, one of my dream projects is to sit down with the hundreds of postcards in the Eddy County Museum's collections, and transcribe (or perhaps decipher) the messages written on the back. Alas, such a project would require both time and funding. So I temper my ambitions and only occasionally stop to read the cryptic cursive from a century ago. Curiosity got to me when I found this handmade, mixed-media postcard that a young man named Henry wrote to his sister, Mrs. Fred Dahl, and mailed it to Moorhead, Minn., in 1910. Not only does...

Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve had mild tinnitus – ringing in my ears – for years, but when I got COVID in January it got worse. Are there any treatments you know of, or can recommend that can help? Almost 60 Dear Almost, Unfortunately, new research indicates that tinnitus, a common hearing problem that affects around 50 million Americans, may be worsened by COVID-19 or possibly even triggered by it. Here’s what you should know along with some tips and treatments that may help. What is Tinnitus? Tinnit...
Regular readers of Archival Anecdotes will likely have noticed that the Eddy County Museum has a healthy collection of fashion accessories. Folks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries were undoubtedly influenced by both Victorian and Edwardian fashion, even way out on the prairie. From hat pins to handbags, there are an estimated 200 artifacts in the museum related to fashion. Is the fan where fashion meets function? Anyone who has ever sat in the still air on a warm day knows the relief a...
On the night of March 1, 1904, a heavy snow began to fall and it continued all of March 2, giving New Rockford more snow than it had had all winter. The storm stopped all trains that day, and on the morning of March 3, a snow plow came up from Jamestown to clear the tracks. Then the wind kicked up on the morning of March 4, filled in the cuts with snow, and both the northbound and the southbound trains got stuck in the hills north of New Rockford. On March 3, Chris Jensen returned from Iowa,...
Likely the most mysterious provision of the Bill of Rights, the question of the meaning of the Ninth Amendment, has generated numerous interpretations and theories. Though not invoked by the Supreme Court for the first time in our nation’s history until 1965, it has come to play an important role in advancing the rights and liberties of Americans everywhere. The right to privacy, intimate relations, same-sex marriage and raising children in a manner consistent with parental values, are but a few of the many rights asserted in the name of t...
Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any golfing equipment that can help older golfers? My dad, who’s 76, loves to play golf, but arthritis in his hands has made griping the club challenging, and his fragile lower back makes stooping over to tee-up or retrieve the ball a problem too. Is there anything out there that can help? Golfing Buddy Dear Buddy, There are actually a wide variety of adaptive golf equipment that can help older golfers who struggle with injuries, arthritis or loss of m...
The art of hairwork is far more intricate than you might imagine. The Eddy County Museum holds two unique specimens of this craft. Both were created as a symbol of love and devotion from a wife to her husband. Throughout the Victorian Era, hairworks were popular tokens to signify affection, and came in the form of intricate mementos. Hair was formed into bracelets, brooches, earrings, rings, chains, necklaces, bags, bookmarks and so much more. The popular lady's magazines of the era often p...
On Feb. 23, 1904, J.R. Engberg was up from Barlow on business. Frank Bailey came down from the H. Peoples farm on the Sheyenne River. Mr. and Mrs. P.B. Anderson and family left Sheyenne, where he had operated a lumberyard, to go to Minot to live. That afternoon, Mrs. W.O. Baird had the high score at “Ladies’ Day” at the bowling alley. That evening, a large crowd enjoyed a basket social and a dance at Mr. and Mrs. M. Reames’s farm south of New Rockford. On the morning of Feb. 24, a son was bor...
Throughout our nation’s history, the 10th Amendment to the Constitution has been misconstrued for the purpose of advancing state sovereignty, at the expense of the Supremacy Clause. Some have invoked it as a second Supremacy Clause. The language of the amendment is tantalizing for advocates of state powers broader than those actually vested in state government, but the text requires a close reading. The 10th Amendment provides: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are res...

Here’s where to begin. Internet Disco...
The boots featured this week are the only set of army boots in the Eddy County Museum's collection, and are among a limited number of artifacts from World War I. With a little research, I learned they are Pershing Boots, a specialized trench boot that infantry soldiers affectionately called "Little Tanks." These boots were a major upgrade over the 1917 trench boots, which were reportedly cold, leaky and often fell apart, not good for soldiers on the move. These 1918 Pershing Boots boasted...
On Feb. 16, 1904, George William Robinson, born March 16, 1840, near Montreal, Quebec, died at his home in Thief River Falls, Minn. He married Sarah A. Millen on Aug. 5, 1861, and they had seven children, three of whom survived him—William Robinson, St. Paul, Minn.; and Mrs. Jessie Jackson and Mrs. Anna Shea, both of Thief River Falls—as did his widow. [The Robinsons had come to Eddy County in 1883 (Foster County then) and they moved to Thief River Falls on May 10, 1901.] H. Peoples left on a bu...
The doctrine of nullification, a pernicious pillar of southern resistance to the federal government in the 19th and 20th centuries, promotes a constitutional theory that was emphatically rejected by the framers of the Constitution, when they cast the Articles of Confederation into the ash can of history. Legislators across the country have resurrected this discredited doctrine and have introduced legislation that, in one way or another, would assert state authority to declare “null and void” federal laws and executive orders with which they dis...
Dear Savvy Senior, What tips can you offer for downsizing? My husband and I would like to relocate from our house into a retirement community condo near our daughter, but need to get rid of a lot of personal possessions before we can move. Overwhelmed Willa Dear Willa, The process of weeding through a house full of stuff and parting with old possessions is difficult and overwhelming for most people. A good place to start is to see if your kids, grandkids or other family members would like any...
