Clermont and surrounding area social notes and visits

A long list of residents and visitors from Clermont, McGregor, and near towns attended picnics, family gatherings, and church events. People traveled to Ossian, Cedar Rapids, Knoxville, and Chicago for visits, medical, and work, with several families hosting relatives at homes and farms. A Messerli reunion drew about two hundred at Sumner’s city park, and the Eastern Star and Masonic groups hosted events before departures for Champaign Illinois and other households.
