Some that have recently returned are Harold Kasers, Perle Lappins, Abe Bullas and Bill Limericks. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Gark, of State Road 23 South, who were married on April 7, 1942 and will be celebrating their 50th with an open house this summer. Eldon recently had surgery but is slowly recovering. So please remember them. Our congratulations also go to Mr. and Mrs. Bud Stuver, of Bradenton, Florida, as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, April 4th at the Sahib Temple, Sarasota, Florida. Many of you will remember Mrs. Stuver as Mary Kathryn Sheneman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Sheneman. They lived in North Liberty and Niles, Michigan before retiring and moving to Florida. Read from Mrs. Johnson's diary of 100 years ago, that all through April it was cold, windy and they had snow on the 9th and on the 14th. Come to think of it, 1 can remember some real bad snows in April. They had their first little lamb on the 3rd and on the 9th set out 6 peach trees. On the 15 they weaned a calf and had six sacks of com ground at Kneps. Tuesday, the 19th, churned butter and set out onions. 25th, put sweet potatoes to sprout, 29th baked bread, Sam planted potatoes. Doesn't this bring back memories. Martha McCrosky returned home after spending the month of March in Santa Barbara. California, along with her niece Roseland
