Nemaha Milling Gets Repairs A fire erupted at the top of a leg in Nemaha Milling's grain transfer tubes in the week of July 20th, 2005. Both Nemaha and Early Fire Departments responded to the call and were able to put out the fire before it could spread to the grain storage bins. The fire had been quickly contained after a farmer living over a mile from Nemaha noticed the smoke and flames about dusk at the highest part of the mill. Replacement equipment arrived within two weeks and a crane was used to hoist the pieces in place on July 30th, 2005.
 August, 2006 brought another needed repair. The large crane was again called for assistance and caused Railroad street to be blocked for a couple of hours while the repair to the top of the mill was completed. Return to Top Tour Buses Arrive for

Hazel Linsted, long-time operator of Hazel's Cafe in Nemaha celebrated her 70th birthday on March 17, 2004. She hosted a party with her restaurant overflowing with local people who came to show their appreciation for her being in business for the past thirty-six years and for many more years to come.  Between the snowfall and the street snowplows, Hazel doesn't do much winter driving. On warm days, Hazel and volunteers will be found shoveling her out till the next snowfall.  Hazel had her building resided since the above 2004 photo was taken.Unfortunately, her car still has a problem in the winter as shown to the left of the building in this March 2, 2007 photo. In fact, the day this photo was taken, NONE of the morning coffee drinkers made it in even though the coffee pot was on. Main Street was impassible most of the morning and the photographer waded through hip-deep snow just to get this photo.  Hazel's still celebrating birthdays. She just turned 73 on March 17, 2007, |

This is one of the three buses.
The old Nemaha jail has been retired and placed next to the Historical Building on main street for all to view. It is a steel cage 3 by 7 foot and stands 7 foot tall. It was originally used in the City Hall/Firestation to temporarily hold person(s) until transport could be arranged to a more suitable jail. No current residents remember it ever being used for anything except perhaps a lost dog waiting for its owner to claim it. A couple of wood figures have been placed inside to complete the scene.
The Historical Building is coated with a winter coat of white. The snow pile in front almost reaches the bottom of the windows. The sidewalk is kept clear even if the parking is not.
