Adair County Authors: Noma Dix Winston

Update, January 26, 2024:
In 1941, and again in 1943, the Adair County News reported that Miss Noma Dix Winston had published short stories in American Magazine under the pen name Winston Norman. After a lengthy correspondence with the actual Winston Norman's daughter, Christine Klukkert, we are updating our 2005 article (and another followup) to definitively state that Winston Norman authored the short stories that we had incorrectly attributed to Miss Noma Dix Winston.

Based on the papers provided by Christine, we are convinced that the Adair County News incorrectly reported on Miss Noma Dix Winston's career back in 1941. We haven't been able to dig up any further information about what role she might have played in the stories' publication, or how the ACN came to repeatedly get the record wrong. Our apologies to the Norman estate for the error. --Pen

Armistice Day, 1945: Gradyville recognized 11 WWII Veterans of its own

The following article appeared on page one of the Wednesday, November 14, 1945 edition of the Adair County News.
By CYRUS
A bit of historical perspective: In November, 1945, the war in Europe had ended only six months earlier; the ink on the Allied-Japanese peace treaty was barely two months dry; many thousands of U.S. soldiers still were staioned in Europe, the South Pacific, and Japan; and the soldiers who had come home had been welcomed like the heroes they were.
