We ventured to the southeast corner of Nebraska to visit Falls City where the Morgan portion of our family tree lived for many years in the 1930s and 40s! What a blessing to reconnect with my Great Uncle Tom and have him show us around the town where he spent most of his boyhood days. We got to see where the Morgans lived...where they prayed, worked and played. We also wondered how they could possibly endure the summer time before air conditioning...it was easily 95 degrees and 99% humidity when we arrived in town - ugh. Uncle Tom remembered going the pool to cool off...and our trailer was parked a couple hundred yards from where that pool used to be! We shared stories of our trip and of uncle Tom's memories from Falls City and we even got to make our customary Saturday morning pancakes for uncle Tom! Lori was still in Pennsylvania with her extended family, but oh, the stories we can now share about where my grandmother spent many years as a young woman! Thank you uncle Tom for a wonderful visit!

I am so happy that you all had the chance to meet another one of your great great relatives. Some day you will cherish this opportunity to have gotten insights to your heritage. I know that this was very special for Uncle Tom.

Hello Charles. Thanks for posting about your stay in Falls City, we probably parked in the same place by where the pool used to be!
