Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 June 1907 — A SWELL BANQUET. [ARTICLE]

A SWELL BANQUET.

Dr. and Mrs. I. M. Washburn, E. L. Hollingsworth, H. R. Kurrie and Miss Edna Thompson attended the banquet of the Indiana Society of Chicago Saturday night which was held at the palatial home at Oak Park of John Farson, a well known Chicago banker who is a native Hooeier, hailing from Union City. Our former townsman W. B. Austin is a member of this society and was chairman of the invitation committee. G. K Hollingsworth and other former Rensselaer people are also members. This annual banquet surpassed all previous efforts both in the elegance of the spread and the program rendered. Plates were 92.50 each, and about one thousand people, former Indianians, were in attendance.
