On Saturday, June 5, the Olive Branch Church with Don Dennie will be in charge of the 8:30 morning worship service out at Peppermint Hill in Potato Creek State Park. Did you guess the right number of postmasters in North Liberty that had served since 1845? Did you know too, that it was orgininally established as Dover and then changed to North Liberty on December 16, 1847. Well, there were 31 total so far. The one you may remember serving the longest was Herbert McEndafer for 26 years from Feb. 28, 1946 to 1972. I also well remember John Shew, Mrs. Joan Shoemaker, who recently passed away, and now our present postmaster, Michael Kochanowski who has served for the past 13 years. Do any of you remember Elmer Stull, Claude Worster, Miss Beatrice Steele and Miss Lucille Heim? Hope this brought back memories to you about our post office and where it use to be farther uptown.

Please say a prayer for her and send her a cheer up card. The Westlawn and Eastlawn Cemeteries could not have looked more beautiful than they did Memorial Day with the flags waving and beautiful flowers everywhere. It was great to see and hear the John Glenn High School band march and play as they joined in the service at Eastlawn at 9:00 in the morning and then Rev. Charles Richmond gave a very fitting message to the large crowd that attended. Our sympathy this week goes to the Frank Rhode family. Dorothy Shirley and Tom Rhode were two of his children.
