Des Moines Minister Speaker at Cranston
Des Moines minister and parishioners attended the Cranston community picnic with Rev. Ernest L. Schaffer delivering a keynote on a new patriotism amid postwar reflection. The crowd exceeded 250, with many out-of-town guests listed from multiple Iowa towns and Illinois. The event featured an invocation by Rev. Suckow and closed with a reading of historical notes. The article also notes a 130 year old Des Moines heirloom book and a late Ice Age reference to Cortez importing first horses to America in 1519.
