| | OCONTO -- CUSTER COUNTY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Oconto, in the Wood River Valley, was on the Kearney and Black Hills branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, one of the most prosperous, best-paying branch lines. |
 | | Oconto was a "forest of 232 windmills" often called the "Windmill Town." Editor Bryner, who established "The Oconto Register," pushed for a water system, warning people they would be sorry when it was too late. |
 | | Traditionally the first Saturday in July is when Oconto High Alumni come home and enjoy dancing, a parade, and other frivolities at their old stomping grounds. |
