Thanksgiving Gatherings Reach Across Forest City and Peoria
Forest City relatives attended a Thanksgiving dinner at Howard and Hazel White’s Havana home with many Dawson Patterson Speckerer and White families from Forest City. Other notes include visits to Peoria by Mrs. Cecil Van Etten, trips to Milwaukee by the Hibbards and LeCounts, and a Christmas gift exchange led by Janice Meyer with a January meeting planned for the Rebecca chapter.
