Normans in the News

This age of technology provides us so many links and looks to the past. Cousin Nikki recently let us know about a discovery she had found. https://newspapers.lib.utah.edu/search ... this is a service that has scanned in old newspapers from all over Utah. From small city publications to the Salt Lake Tribune, old or new, you can search by date, by paper or even by keywords or names. Pretty cool!

When I (Jen) was young, once of my favorite fast food places was Skippers. I loved the fish and chips, but I also enjoyed reading the "paper" that the food was served on. Always interesting to get a peek of what is being presented in any time period. Here's just a peek at a paper from Mt. Pleasant ... perhaps Grandma Norman read this paper as she recovered from Nelva's birth a few days before.

Grandma Zada and Grandpa Rex made some mentions themselves ... Marriages and Births

... and army activity

Looking back a little further - we can see Grandpa Rex's mom featured ... 
Little town papers and Neighborhood News.



... and one more of Grandpa Rex

The Newsworthy Normans!
