Reverend O W Lawrence praised by First Christian Church
The Rev Dr O W Lawrence of Weeatur addressed the First Christian congregation and impressed enough to likely receive a call as pastor though no meeting is set. He met trustees and members while the church noted a strong, pleasing service. B Brooks, the departing pastor, plans to move to Seattle for a national Christian churches convention. After seventeen years, Mrs Edward Baird of Newburg finds her two children Hallia and Frank, separated from their mother decades ago. She sought them through the Home for the Friendless and later in Danbury, learning they were sent west for adoption. A letter from her daughter in Long Beach California mentions her brother in Parma Michigan, prompting a planned family reunion.

Woodmen of the World Elect Officers At Convention
The Woodmen of the World elected officers led by Sovereign Commander J. C. Root of Omaha and Sovereign Clerk J. T. Erie at a recent convention. The meeting in Omaha ended abruptly after a parishioner fainted during Rev. Bill Yates sermon amid crowd agitation in Erie. A Pittsburg woman, Emma Strann, 49, shot herself over her husband’s death in an industrial accident a year earlier.

Gruesome display at convention in Altoona Pa
The 30th annual Funeral Directors Association of Pennsylvania opened its sessions with a large turnout of undertakers from across the state. Delegations from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh praised a striking display of caskets in shrouds as the best exhibit of its kind. Mayor Hoyer gave the welcome, ex-President M. I. Lesle of Pittsburgh spoke in reply, and delegates discussed reducing old funeral horrors by shortening ceremonies and avoiding extravagant pageantry. The secretary and treasurer reported the society in good health.
