Weekly Visits With Friends in Town and Country

The narrator and Harold visit Mrs. Cornie Hoksbergen at the Bauman farm and later stop at Harry Viersen's home on a rainy Thursday afternoon, August 19, recounting old visits, farm life, and memories of Indians and local neighbors. Mrs. Hoksbergen's seven years as a Van der Ploeg bakery clerk highlights honesty and fair dealings amid Depression era constraints.

Birthday reflections on Pella changes and local life

The narrator notes vast changes since his boyhood in Pella with acres of timber and prairie now replaced by a sizeable city and closely spaced farms. The Lautenbach family, including Mrs Viersen formerly Lautenbach, are tied to Charles, Richard, and Miss Marie Lautenbach. Mr. and Mrs. Viersen host visitors, especially children, and anticipate a new Baptist pastor bringing fresh life to the church this fall.
