Local notes from Henry and surrounding area
Marshall lodge delegates Mark Gregory and W G Snyder attended the Grand Lodge in Springfield this week and will report back on the doings of the organization. The Boston clothing store in Galva moved to larger quarters with a big salesroom and strong trade led by manager Al Matter. The Grand Opera House in Peoria employs four in its orchestra, yet delivers fine music. C J Colby of Creston, Iowa, formerly from La Salle, has built a real estate career after earlier residences in Bureau and Tiskilwa Providence. James T Galan near Verona has traded grain and caused a brokered loss on a corn deal later recovered by adjustments. Quilon is popular but his career may be short. Rev Mr Wasmuth, visiting Lacon district, preached at M E church and spoke highly of the Henry community, having long ties to the area. The Republican notes a pleasant call and conversation with the visiting minister.
