Anniversary Celebrations At Kananga And Nearby Areas
A May 16 1940 note recalls a Kanauga gathering for a family anniversary with dinner, visitors including Mr and Mrs John Deem and numerous relatives, plus local society meetings and church events. The report mentions travel between Charleston Ragland and Gallipolis, a hospital transfer for Mrs Forrest Hite, and a funeral in Addison. It closes with a note on the rare Welwitschia plant in southwest Africa and its odd two-room seed structure.
