Poeses Are New In City

The only male member of a family of six is one way of describing one of O'Neill's most recent newcomers. He is Gilbert Poese, manager of O'Neill radio station KBRX. Although Mr. Poese has been here since early in March, his wife and four daughters just arrived three weeks ago. They came from Maryville, Mo., where Gilbert was with a local radio station. He has been in radio work for about 11 years.

This is their first experience in Nebraska living, says Mrs. Poese, known to her friends as Pat. They were originally from central Missouri before moving to Maryville which is about 100 miles from Kansas City. The biggest adjustment to make, Pat thinks, is getting accustomed to the distances between Nebraska towns and cities.

Patricia, 8, Jana, 6½, Cynthia, 5, and Nancy Jean, 2½ are the younger female members of the Poese family. Gilbert and Pat enjoy family outings and are fans of most sports. They also enjoy playing cards. Members of the Methodist church, Pat and Gil were both active in church work before moving. Gilbert is a past president of the Methodist men and Pat was chairman of a church circle. Together they taught a nursery Sunday School class.

Busy with unpacking and getting settled, Pat has still found time to meet a few O'Neill people and says she finds them very friendly. They are living in a house on East Benton street since Mrs. Poese and the girls arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Poese have four daughters. The girls are Patricia, 8, in the rear of the picture, and sitting side by side are Cynthia, 5, and Jana, 6½. On mother's lap is Nancy Jean, 2½. The Frontier Photo and Engraving.
