Five decades of River news and events since 1913
A compilation of district notes through 1913 to 2003 recounts storms that shut phone lines and damaged property, clergy appointments, anniversaries, births, school and railway milestones, local business moves, and community events in Rivers and surrounding areas. It notes a 1943 rector appointment, 1953 principal retirement, 1963 hardware move, 1973 car wrecks, and later talents and weddings across multiple years.
