Excerpted stories in Crawford County newspaper archives 100 Years Ago March 15, 1923 Mme. Amelita Galli-Curci, vivacious, laughing, and above all charming, stepped from her private car, the Bucephalus, this morning for her 36-hour stay in Pittsburg to appear tomorrow night in the Carney Hall auditorium. The party came from Springfield, Mo., where the prima donna sang last night.
