.. ** ? -*^ NORTH LIBERTY NEWS By Gladys Sheneman Mildred Hunter returned from Houston, Texas, where she spent three weeks with her son, Bob. While there they went to "Skydive America" in Beaumont where Mildred made her second tandam parachute jump from 13,000 feet up. Six other people plus her son, Bob, jumped out with her and formed a circle. Bob and Mildred also attended the big skydivers show in League City where they saw 72 skydivers form the Texas Star 5000 feet up in the air. They broke the Texas record of 64 divers that was made in 1990. Very exciting seeing all those colorful suits and parachutes up in the sky and then all landing on the ground. Did you know that North Liberty is going to have another church, beginning August 2? It is called North Liberty Mennonite Chuch, located in the First Brethren Church. Floyd Miller is the pastor with Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., Morning Worship at 10:30 a.m. and visitors are welcome. John Lucas and daughter, Cathy, of Phoenix, Arizona, has been visiting Wesley and Maxine Worthington for the past week. Many of you readers in the Tyner area will be surprised to learn that I had a good visit Friday evening with Rev. John Davis and his wife, a former pastor of the Tyner U.B. Church. They have purchased the Tabor Church on State Road 4, across from Potato Creek State Park and are going to make it into a second home, as they live in Syracuse and would like to come here with their family and be close to the park. I use to attend church there and I am so glad to see that it is going to be restored. They were mowing and had set out trees and it was really looking good again. Congratulations to Evan and Patty Henry who are the proud parents of a baby girl, born July 18 in Memorial Hospital. She has been named Leanne Christine and she has a brother Johnny and a sister, Cindy. Her grandparents are George and Wilda Henry, Walt and Jane Wilson and her greatgrandparents are Calvin and Clara Mae Kronk. Best wishes to all of you.

JULY 23, 1992 - THE INDEPENDENT NEWS -

Tony andd Lisa and daughter Serena, all of South Bend; Dick and Evelyn Croy, of Lakeville; Steve and Joan Rudynski, Ann Carpenter and son Dustin. Well we have certainly got some wonderful much needed easy rains since last week and everything looks great now. I’ve been busy, made red current jell out of the currants my daughter brought me for my birthday and it was really tasty. 1 even made red raspberry jam from the berries from Helen Gundlach, of Walkerton, a good friend, and my son-in-law, Gene Patrick, picked me two quarts of big blackberries that I put in the freezer as I love that pie. How about you? Grace (Oplinger) Wolfe called me to see how I was related to Margie Dunn Rook, in Illinois. Well her grandmother and my grandmother were sisters, Eliza-

beth and Mary Mummery, so that made her mother Fay and my dad Chester Thayer first cousins and her and I second cousins. I think this is right and you know I can’t remember if their last name was Mummey or Manning, because my great-grandmother was also married to a Manning. Hope you can figure this all out Margie, ha ha. Helen and Gil Law, of Denver, Colorado, have been here visiting their daughter Pat Foresman and family. They all enjoyed a family reunion last Saturday. If you want a quick sandwich, piece of pie and coffee when downtown, the Drug Store soda fountain is now serving all this besides Bonnie Doone ice cream, sodas, sundaes and cones. The doughnut was brought over to America from the Netherlands more than 300 years ago by Dutch colonists.
