Local Notes From Port Washington Area Sidelights
Sickness eases for Mrs Kennedy and Joseph Bender while L C Hiller builds a front porch with S A Johnson and H T Girard. Timber cutting continues north of Port Washington by Hiller and Elmer Parker. Linard sustains a left leg injury cutting with a foot-ax near the knee, likely sidelining him for a time. Community visits, Sabbath school events, and baptisms at Gilmore Christian church mark this week’s activities.
