Newton and surrounding community news from 1884
Corn in parts looks better and haying starts. Webster Toland builds a new house, Clark Northrop finishes a few hours’ work, and Mrs Hattie Iry becomes Sunday school superintendent. A children’s sermon was held at Francisco schoolhouse by Rev Bryant. John Cotton marries Adaline Greenleaf at John Rolfe’s residence. A flour mill was struck by lightning but saved from destruction by prompt citizen action. Socials and concerts draw crowds for library funds and church events. Several local residents visit or relocate, with many farm and school notices, and upcoming repairs and improvements noted.
