Slayback Case Compromised and Cemetery Trustees Named
The case of David E. Slayback vs Andrew J. Davis et al is compromised and dismissed. Trustees of the cemetery association will reconvey the real estate and chapel to Slayback and Joseph Clark after forming a Rosston cemetery group, with the First Christian church given priority for use of the chapel as long as it maintains a Rosston class. The title will be vested in the directors, not the church conference. A later section mentions a variety show including Fitch BK. Cooper, Kluger, Jack Mackie, Edward La Zelle, Ethel Delancey, and Miss Mae Held, with a charity purse challenge and repeated performances through the week.
