Community Notes From Whitefield Corners and Marshall County
Walter Austin's family, six members, are ill with flu while Mrs. Charles Austin cares for them and neighbors help with chores. A social at the parsonage featured the new mistress and refreshments. Upcoming events include a hen party at Mrs. M. B. Fosdick and a Thanksgiving chicken pie supper at Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cook to benefit a cause. A Barbdue at Bradford drew many, with a minor earthquake-like shock feared by attendees. Auto accident on Edward Street left Leon Fosdick unhurt and John Johnson lightly shaken. a runaway team caused the crash. The official board meets at the parsonage Friday evening.
