Pastoral gatherings and community notes in Fayette county
The Presbyterian church held its annual congregational meeting with Rev. Russell Nelson in charge. Elections saw Robert Bigler become Elder, with reelecting trustees and officers including Mrs. Arthur Herrling as treasurer and Mrs. Margaret Bigler as Sunday school superintendent. A busy week featured Missionary Society activities, Keen O Bridge club gatherings, and numerous visits, illnesses, and funerals across Fayette county communities, with many local residents traveling to see relatives or attend services. The column also includes a moral about parental comparisons and social dynamics among neighborhood children, followed by college baseball schedules for the University of Iowa, Purdue, and Notre Dame, and a reflection praising the content, independent worker living.
