Marshall County old settlers picnic draws modest crowd
A Marshall County old settlers picnic at Lacon attracted a smaller crowd than past years due to threatening morning weather. Highlights included Pekin band performances, a mule race on Fifth Street, a carnival at Vernay lots, and an address by J. Ham Lewis. Jane Davis, nearly 107, and Mrs. Zillah Uttrie, mother of Fire Marshal Q. McMurtrie, attended with families. A charity baseball game between Lacon and Hen completed the day with a late dramatic finish.
