Old Settlers Society Proposed In County
In a discussion with longtime residents, plans emerged to form an Old Settlers Society to meet annually, compare notes, and publish memories of early county life for future historians. Organizers seek input from those who have resided in the county for fifteen years or more to schedule a meeting. Fruit prospects appear good with strawberries, cherries, currants, and gooseberries in market. A Western Union R R train westbound was delayed after a journal broke in the forward track car, causing a scare among passengers but little damage.
