Surprise Birth Day Party for George Moore at State Street
Friends gathered at George Moore’s State Street home last Thursday evening for a surprise birthday celebration. A pot-luck supper followed, after which Dr. Lamb delivered a witty eulogy in didactic hexameter praising Alma. The guests suggested naming him poet laureate of Alma if future efforts continue. Jeyney the Percheron stallion, imported by Bell Bros. of Wooster, Ohio, stands at Ercher’s barn and weighs 1,965 pounds, owned by G. A. Brown.
