Welcome to my third web site about Somers, Wisconsin pioneer history. This blog is a collection of entries published in a weekly column of the Racine Journal Times and it's forerunners called "Neighborhood News". Mrs. Minnie Ozanne, a Somers pioneer, was the reporter who started writing the column when horse and buggies were in vogue. Mrs. Ozanne's faithful recording of daily events and 'personals' opens an insightful window into the lives of our early settlers.
