Christmas Festivities At the Friends Church
A Christmas program at the Friends church featured a loaded tree, red and white decorations, and songs and recitations by children. Notable numbers included a Mills duet and a stockings brigade. The pastor received dining room chairs and china as a gift, and the event showcased careful preparation and festive spirit. The North Pole scene and flag decoration highlighted the program’s holiday pageantry. Nearby, a Jonah Duncan family Christmas gathering in Marshalltown drew 24 attendees with generous gifts. A severe storm brought about eleven inches of snow, delaying sidewalk clearing until Christmas day, with Mayor Sharp coordinating snowplow efforts and Merritt Gaunt handling the clearing work. Sleighing was expected to be excellent.
