jerry1939 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Posted May 26, 2018 Bily (pronounced BEE LEE) brothers lived near Spillville, Iowa. They died in the mid 1960s. I was born in '39 and lived about 15 miles from them (Fort Atkinson, Iowa), but had never heard of them when they were living. Here is a 10 minute video about them. Well worth your time to watch it. jerry RabidAlien, bobscroll, Karl S and 2 others 5 Quote
