Wyoming Correspondence Roundup March Notes and Court ruling
The Crissick will contest in Anamosa district court resulted in a verdict sustaining the will after witnesses and contesters argued undue influence and mental capacity. The Hawthorne club hosted an Easter themed evening with a buffet, music, readings, and an egg hunt. Residents urge city action to curb indiscriminate shade tree cutting and a busy street scene anticipates Ford auto sales. Easter weather spoiled plans for church services and headwear displays. Community notes cover church moves, bank cashier update, teacher elections, spring storms, rail outages, local visits, and school institute attendance.
