Wesleyan Folks Share Generous Cheer in Storm Aid
In Wesley and surrounding areas, neighbors donated and paid forward with goodwill. A farmer tipped Dr Walters a dollar for tending a gravely ill boy during a storm, though the doctor declined yet accepted to comfort the giver. Another farmer offered Byed Anderson a dollar and a quarter, but Anderson declined after proving the debt unnecessary. An editor north of Wesley received five dollars from a grateful reader who subscribed twenty five years ago. the editor returned half with a note to credit till year’s end. Geo. B. Hall, a banker and landman, aided a friend burnt out of his house by providing another residence from his surplus. That is the way it goes, no Wesley.
