Grafton Park Becomes Mecca for Day Visitors
The Grafton Park drew crowds from Clarksburg Fairmont and nearby towns with river swimming that looked like an ocean beach. Bathers ranged from toddlers to elders as guests of Marguerite Tiana Street hosted a party and dance at the park. A missionary circle gathering at the First Baptist church near Blueville gathered fifty ladies with musical selections and talks, while next meetings were planned for July. The town also announced the opening of a new Moose home on Washington Street with a multi-day dedication and initiation program the week of June 29 and July 2.
