Harvesting ice was big business in Mercer County Pre-World War I. The subject will be featured in the open fall meeting of the Mercer County Historical Society. Local historian Lois Retherford has plenty of research on the topic says historical society president Ronn Dillavou.
The fall open meeting of the Mercer County Historical Society is 7 p.m., Monday, October 17, at the Essley-Noble Museum in Aledo.
