Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 June 1915 — Motored to Joliet, Illinois. [ARTICLE]

Motored to Joliet, Illinois.

J. P. Hammond and sons, Herbert and Morris, motored to Joliet, 111., Sunday to see his daughter, Mrs. Leo Colvert, and family, and to bring home with them Sunday night Mrs. Hammond, who had been there for a week. They drenched home about 11 p. m., Sunday night, having driven, including a number of miles about the city, 240 miles. They found the Indiana roads quite good, but the Illinois roads were bad, ana they also had to go out of their way by a bridge being out. A big rain there Saturday night didn’t do them any good. Mrs. Colvert has practically recovered from her critical illness from ptomine poisoning, caused from eating canned salmon. > Alpha Christley and family and Opal McDonald will leave here the early part of next week for San Francisco in Mr. Christley's car. They will pursue the Lincoln highway to Denver, beyond which point the blue book route has not been ascertained. How long will be required to make this journey of 2,500 miles by motor may be more definitely stated when the journey is completed. Mr. Christley goes to visit his brother and the rest of the party will take a look at the exposition.—Monon News.
