Note from the editor:
Is a historical perspective necessary in a town's celebration? Yes. I believe the history of a town should be laid down at least every fifty years. Like a link in a chain, a generation of history can slip through. When the history is summed up again, that missing link may be forever lost. It may be true; every town is a frontier town, but Mulberry retains so much surviving evidence and memories of its former daily activities. It was a bustling town too, with more than its share of various enterprises.
