Old Settler's Picnic at Brimfield Celebrates Community
The Union Church hosts a large Old Settler's Picnic with a morning rain giving way to clear skies. Hon. F. E. Barton of Cullom delivers an agricultural address, the home quartet performs, and the Brimfield band delights attendees. Prizes honor age and distance among locals, while Elmwood wins tug of war and Brimfield beats Princeville in baseball. The trough of obituaries lists many recent passings, and a dedication piece by Wm. W Church of Rock Island precedes note of upcoming sermon on evolution and church arrangements.
