George Traskowsky

        George and Hattie Berry Traskowsky moved from Geary County to the Woodbine community
   before the turn of the century. They first lived a couple of miles south of town and moved
   to the present home place one-half mile east of Woodbine in 1903. The farm contains the 
   sites of the old Mill Dam and the Mill where grain was ground in the late 1800's. It also
   contains the Old Swimming Hole and the timber and the hay meadow where Fourth of July
   picnics and ball games were held.
        George and Hattie had five children: Grace, Mary, Irene, Art, and Clarence. George
   was killed when he and his tractor went over a creek bank in 1931. Hattie died in 1936.
