Local society items and travels across Illinois towns
Birth announcements note daughters for Mr and Mrs Harry Peter on July 6 and sons for Mr and Mrs Harry Turner and Mr and Mrs Herbert Hanlon on July 1 1925. Reports cover visits by Miss Mildred Littlefield and Miss Hazelle Henry at Princeville and Mrs Jennie Rook and daughter Margaret planning a summer in Fort Wayne Indiana. A long drive by M D Maher and companions from Farmington through Glasford to Hanna City and back details places and scenes along the route. Advertisements urge farm fence purchases and feature a bank cash statement and community notices including a bake sale and local social updates.
