NORTH LIBERTY NEWS By Gladys Sheneman Just want to say thanks to the North Liberty Park Board for all their work as the storm did a lot of damage there also, but it has had a new face lift and the new walk bridge across the creek will be dedicated at the time of the talent program in the park. Plan now to be present. A beautiful wedding took place in the North Liberty Park on Saturday afternoon when Mary Watterson, of Carmel, became the bride of Gary Williams, of Brazil, Indiana. Mary is a sister of Cindy Holtz, who is the new Park president and lives by the park. She took care of all the details for her sister. Sue’s Flower Shoppe made the beautiful flowers; Judy’s Salon baked the beautiful wedding cake. Rev. Charles Richmond married the couple after Mary walked across the new bridge. About 50 relatives attended. Five Star catered the food from the Deli which was all set up and ready at the Holtz home after the wedding ceremony. We do have a beautiful park now and I hope more people will take advantage of it and use it for more family reunions and gettogethers. Mr. and Mrs. Jon Loucks and daughter Jill, Napoleon, Ohio, spent the week with his grandmother, Helen Loucks. She took them to the Country Buffet in South Bend on Sunday. Enid Liggett, a nurse at Miller’s Merry Manor, Walkerton, was very pleasantly surprised on her (guess what) 60th birthday. Jane Pittman baked her a very unusual birthday cake and when she cut the top, it was a ring of bologna all frosted just beautifully. What a surprise. She shared her cake with the residents on unit one and they all sang happy birthday and then Enid had to get back to work. I can remember so well when the Walshs came to Beaver Creek to be pastor there. I had a party that night, we were just eating, when we saw a moving van drive in at 7:00. So we asked them to come and eat with us, Enid was just a youngster then. Aletha Croy spent the weekend in Plymouth with her son Bob Croy and family. The North Liberty Lions Club is sponsoring a Miss Beauty Pagaent on Friday night at the Community Building. Any girl from freshman to senior is welcome to participate. It is also open to the public. The girls will be escorted by young men of the community. Congratulations to Calvin and Clara Mae Kronk, who celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary on Friday, June 26. That’s great, best wishes from all your many friends. Sorry to hear about the earthquakes in California. I talked to my son, Dennis and they were awaken Sunday morning at 4:00 a.m. with everything shaking in the house. Also talked to him Monday evening and they had three bad shakes again on Monday morning. They were packing a survival kit in his van when I called. There is a crack in the desert forty miles long. He is in the center of the fault line, which isn’t good and the road he takes to Las Vegas is closed. Sure hope they don’t have any more.

We really need rain again, its getting so dry, but guess we better not complain. In Florida they are getting too much rain and we don’t want that either. Do you remember the great and damaging wind storm which uprooted trees by the hundreds and tore shingles off roofs back on April 30, 1962. I will never forget this terrible storm, as it got pitch dark. We went to our basement and when we came up after the storm, it had blowed down four of our lovely trees out in Sheneman’s Grove, but did not destroy any of our play equipment. Our good neighbors came in and helped clean up our mess. It did a lot of damage in the area. Arlu Smith spent last week with her daughter, Ralu Lantz, city judge of Muncie., along with Ralu’s friend, Melody Webler, of Muncie. They visited the Indian Bluff Resort in Kentucky and stayed overnight. Then they toured Cave City, Kentucky, and then stayed in a Kentucky Diamond Cavern Resort, then drove to Mammoth Cave National Park and toured the Frozen Niagara, a part of the historical cave. On Sunday they took the scenic Green River Boat and on the way home stopped in Louisville, touring the home of George Rodgers Gark. They also stopped in Ohio and saw the campus of Hanover College. Arlu will never forget this wonderful vacation with her daughter. Fourteen residents of Miller’s Merry Manor, who had birthdays in June were honored at a birthday party for them and their families on Sunday afternoon. They were Virginia Hicks (74), Goldie Kellems (81), Virginia Hass (74), Rose Simincack (92), Helen LaFeber (81), Mary Huhnke (84), Gladys Wilkinson (69), Goldie Chapman (85), Ruth Canico (89), Vera Klinedinst (89), George Dickey (76), Gladys Lohman (87), Hazel Reed (88), and Ed Kesl (84).

Over 150 relatives and friends attended the 50th wedding anniversary celebration Sunday after-
