Home-Coming of Rev Chester McCown Delayed Health Standstill
The Henry Republican recalls the homecoming of Rev. Chester McCown and wife from India and notes ill health led them to leave India May 4. After 24 days at sea they rested in Geneva, Switzerland, writing to his parents Rev. and Mrs. D. S. McCown. They may not return to India and plan a gradual journey home. The story recounts how Miss Harriet Doney and McCown met in Evanston, her brave move to India, marriage, tropical illness, and the couple's fatigue from travel while their families, including Dr. and Mrs. George A. Zeller of Macomb, pursue medical and social engagements.
