Morehouse Community News Yearns for Visitors and Travel
A long stream of social notes from Morehouse and surrounding towns records dozens of visits, returns, and journeys. Cpl Bert Crain returns from leave to camp, Hazel Crain comes home from Carbondale, Mrs. Juanita Minich and Mrs. Susie Marshall shop in Sikeston, and many families host relatives or travel to see kin across Illinois Missouri and Ontario. Local business changes occur as Carl Cornell purchases the Hiway Grill. Community life includes picnics at Lake Wappapello, camp attendance at Arcadia, and church revival plans in Canalou. Several residents travel to see loved ones in St Louis Cape Girardeau and Detroit while others plan moves and medical visits.
