In 1915 the Catholics in and around Lisco determined to have a church home and that summer it was begun. Father Burns from Scottsbluff came for services. The following spring it was dedicated with the usual ceremonies. They have forty members.
Out on what is called the west table about eight miles northeast of Lisco, we find a thriving Adventist church called the Lisco Adventist church. In June, 1908, an organization was formed consisting of forty-two members. The building was erected that same year.
Some of the people living in Antelope and Lost Creek valleys wished to have a church building for preaching services and Sunday School. A subscription list was started and funds raised for the building. One was put up in 1916 of cement blocks. It was named the Silvia Union church, in honor of Mrs. John Kiley, who had been one of the main starters of the movement. It was dedicated in June, 1917. Money enough was raised that day to pay off the debt.
The Press
The first newspaper was established in Oshkosh in 1906, by Col. Wisner of Bayard. This was a weekly paper named the Oshkosh Herald. In the following year the Colonel sold out to Calkins and Loob. Calkins soon disappeared, but Loob continued to publish the Herald for a few months longer. Will Twiford acted as editor until tjre spring of 1908, when R. A. Day and Charles Tomppert bought the business and were soon publishing the Herald as an eight page paper, printing two pages of it in their office.
