Since I grew up in Lime Springs, and moved away many years ago. Ive been able to keep in touch through the Lime Springs Herald. Keep up the good work. Thanks for keeping it alive , Joe
i am looking for the paper that was published around the 5th of october 2009. i believe that it had a story about the depression days. there was a picture of a house that had three chimneys. the back way to cresco, a few miles from town. the house stands tall from the road but is very run down can anyone tell me about that house. does anyone still have a copy of that paper.
good to see that your back online I live in Torrance CA.
The new website is great. I had already put my November 5th paper in the recycling and wanted to read The Passing of the Years article again, so I found it online and printed it off. It was sure nice to be able to do this. I love the Herald. It just keeps getting better.
Great to see you have the Lime Springs Herald back on line. I live in Falls Church, Virginia, and always look forward to reading the news from my home town.
I have been enjoying the Capitola Smith story you have been running. Genealogy is my hobby and it gives a wonderful picture of the lifestyle of that era. Anyone who had ancestors in the area can gain insight from this lovely story and I wait each week to read the next installment. Thank you. You have taken inspiration from newspapers of the past who would publish stories in a series. I think yoou hit a home run with this one!
Thanks. It is a great story. Right now it is about half done, so there are about 6-7 weeks left. I’ve heard a lot of comments from folks around here, also.

Hey Marcy i am doing a project over the town of lime springs and if you want to tell me about any of the things about lime springs that would be great and this is a project for school
Marcy, greetings from NE Afghanistan. It’s always good to find out what is going on in the the home town. I really like the online version. My printed copy goes from LS via Oklahoma to here so it is somewhat old news when I get it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for writing. I know we tried this before, but if you can get your picture taken with the Herald over there that would be cool. We could also do a little write-up about what you’re doing and such since leaving LS. You keep up the good work, too!!!!!!
I enjoy reading about your articles from my home town, one subject I would like to read is old news as to how the LS Library was started. My mother, Hazel (Gerald) Murphy, Geneva Garrison, and if I remember right,
Mary (Roy) Jones was another lady who worked very hard in the very beginning. Phoebe Klomp, may be another lady, but I am not sure at this time. I recall only a few ladies worked very hard to accomplish their task. The first Library was up stairs, back of Dr. Jones Dentist office. We live on a Ranch in Southern CA where we raise clydesdale horses. Thank you, Gerry
Thank you for the suggestion. I just checked and it moved above Halweg Drug in 1950, so this is the 60th anniversary. I will definitely be doing something on it when I come across it when I go back in history.

Thank you for your interest, but at the current time, we are able to post things ourselves. Marcie
Thank you for this service for those like me who have moved way out of the area. I lived in Lime Springs from 1945-1954.
Thank you to all Lime Springs area residents who help putting on such great Sweet Corn Days. Our family gathers in the Cresco-Lime Springs area on Sweet Corn Days weekend every year recently. It is a great time to see folks when we eat waffles and omletes as well as stroll the streets.
We are happy to do this, but the real credit goes to Keith Williams who got the site set up!

We are with the LeRoy Independent, so everything can be sent to the same addresses, just specify Lime Springs also. Thanks. Marcie
