Lynnville Old Settlers celebration ends after 90 years
After more than nine decades the Lynnville Old Settlers reunion may not be held this year due to lack of interest. The Lions Club led planning with four meetings but attendance was insufficient to organize. Absent any unexpected change, the event appears to be history. John C. Van Arkel of Oskaloosa faced speeding charges for 75 mph in a 70 mph zone on June 18. He appeared July 17 in Pella court with attorney Howard Life. The judge and witnesses testified for 1 1/2 hours. County Attorney Norman R. Hayes Jr. represented the state. Van Arkel was found not guilty.
