John’s eldest, Peter Lorang, was sent off to school rather than working on the farm.

Found in the Log cabin in 2003.

See below for an 1898 photograph of Mary Lorang trying to ride this bicycle with her oldest boys, Peter and Bernard, trying to help.

This copy of the Genesee News includes 4 large pages, with several illustrations and stories of early Genesee.

This 1898 Genesee News was found as a copy made perhaps in the 1960’s. We later found other copies, but not the original, though the Genesee News contains an article saying that Henry Lorang found the original in 1949. We may find it yet.

One of the over 400 books found in the Log cabin and Curio cabin in 2003. Documented by U of Idaho History Class student Kellyn Younggren in 2007.

John Lorang received and saved many of the Genesee News until 1917, when his son Henry Lorang served in WWI. From 1917 on he saved all of the Genesee News. These were found in the Log cabin and Curio cabin in 2003.

This is the entire record we found in the Curio cabin, ending at the name Miller.
