Local residents attend New Year gatherings and travels
A busy holiday season map fills the small town ledger with visits from Ed Schmidt and others to Lacon and nearby homes. Families and friends in Varna, Wenona, and surrounding areas helped celebrate New Year with dinners, calls, and travel to Chicago, St. Louis, and Peoria. A local stroke of bad luck left Durf’s engine and shelter project damaged and a few horses lost to illness.
