Longtime Congregational Sunday School Superintendent Honored
Last Sunday marked the thirtieth anniversary of J. A. Deutrick's service as Congregational Sunday School superintendent. The school honored him with a gold watch while he is temporarily in South Dakota. The piece notes his devotion and places him among the church's loyal workers. A fire damaged several homes, likely started by Chaplin’s three year old playing with matches, causing hundreds in losses though insured only for a fraction. A group of gypsies prompted Fritz Zimmerman to chase a thief, ending with the dollar recovered and the incident lamented.
