Two separate articles appeared about the city of Arma in separate publications
(Arma Golden Jubilee-1959 & Handbook on the Frontier Days of Southeast Kansas-1961)
although they appear to be almost duplicates.
Since the articles have a few differences they are both displayed in their entirety.

"Arma Golden Jubilee" dated August 7,8 & 9, 1959.
by Miss Loraine Steele

"Handbook on the Frontier Days of Southeast Kansas" dated 1961
by Bernice Close Shackleton

The WPA Guide to 1930s Kansas
