Lanark News Highlights From Community, Weather and Obituary
John Byington, once a Lanark boy and later a Stephenson County teacher, visited town last Saturday. Local baseball players propose Lanark girls make nine new suits, cut by a tailor then sewn by the girls, with a sample worn by the Independence club in a prior effort. Well drilling near the city reached 304 feet with expectations that 800 more feet could strike limestone and yield excellent water within fifty feet of the top. A warm Monday night saw Lanark Masons raise a candidate to the third degree, with a hearty fellow-shipping turnout from Shannon Lodge. A heavy Thursday storm caused widespread damage including washed-out fences and bridges, toppled structures, and flooded fields. John Divens, long a Carroll County settler, died at 70 after a life spanning Franklin County, Pa, migration, and a long faith in the Methodist Episcopal church, with funeral services held in Lanark.
