Jasper County Democrat, Volume 3, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 April 1900 — SHARON. [ARTICLE]

SHARON.

Farmers busy sowing oats this week. George Lorentz of Francesville, spent Sunday at home. Mrs. Penwright is visiting at M. Y. Slaughter's this week. Miss Rosa MaGee of Ohio, is visiting relatives around Sharon, Oliver Phillips, a former resident, was a visitor here last Sunday. The snow-storm of Wednesday capped the climax for the Uth of April. Mr. and Mrs. William Heusen were doing business in Rensselaer last Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pollard gave a birthday dinner last Sunday to their friends. Robert Blake of Lee, came over last Sunday to visit his father, who has been very sick for the past two weeks. Mrs. Desbrow, the aged mother of Walter Drabrow, suffered a stroke of paralysis last Monday night and for a time her life was despaired of. The people here are still longing for the railroad, but as Gifford has purchased the Blue Sea the chances are that the road will go east of Sharon instead of west.
