Rain delays Fifth Sunday Singing then church filled
In Pilot Grove the rain disrupted the Fifth Sunday Singing Convention with no morning services. By afternoon crowds returned as the Baptist Church filled for the program, with singers from Sherman and nearby areas contributing to a good event. A lightning strike on Moton Ashinhurst's barn caused a loss of corn and feed worth about 250 dollars and the building was not insured. Friends will solicit aid for rebuilding.
