Once she tracked down the general area where these women may have lived, and searching the obituaries, etc....Anne started to comb through the Newspaper archives
THEN -- amazingly -- she found this:
Alden Times, Alden, Iowa, US
November 29, 1934, page 5.
“Burdette News”
Mrs. H.O. Brill and family, Miss Rowena Gilbert, Ardel
Nissen, and Mr. & Mrs. R.L. Daniels and family were visitors Saturday in
the Guy Cormaney home.
About 25 neighbors surprised Mrs. Dell Kreamer in her home Friday afternoon,
it being her birthday. Each gave her a
nine patch quilt block with their name embroidered across the front.
