<DIV>Yes Dale - it's still called Prairie City, but was originally called Dixie
Town. Roxanne Smith has created a marvelous website for Grant County
at: <A
href="http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm">http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm</A>.
Prairie City is covered quite well there - I just went there to check it
out & the names bring back such wonderful memories of our years there. You
can find the Grant County Genealogical Society's president's name & email
address at the bottom of that website. (I was a member when we
started that society.)</DIV>

<DIV>Years ago we visited my dentist, Virgil Belknap in Idaho, before we moved
to Prairie City. He told me he was born there & indeed his father was
a prominent Prairie City doctor. My little granddaughter used to call it
"Pretty City" and that's very appropriate! Grant County people
are wonderful & I miss them.</DIV>
