Today in History - October 27

On this day in 1961, NASA launched its first Saturn I rocket. This was the start of the Saturn-Apollo Space Program for NASA.

In the Chuckery, Ohio area in 1886 it was reported that Russell Bigelow's saw mill was broken. And, the Joseph Morse Family of Marysville was in the area visiting relatives.
