I’m in Lincoln. Always interested in what would be considered comfort foods of the day or desserts are always good, too. Thanks!

Head to the library or the historical society in town. Those folks can take right care of you. I might suggest a type of ginger bread/cake so many different types.

I'll look through a few, pick a couple and try to photograph or scan them and PM them to you over the next few days. Great post by the way.
