Mrs. Rose Lucas and daughter Charlotte of Indiana Harbor were week-end visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kenchus and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Lucas. Charlotte became very ill, with infant pneumonia, carried a fever of 103 degrees. Around midnight they called Dr. Ockerman from DeMotte. Received word from Mrs. Ellen Peterson that she is enjoying the warm weather In Florida of 75 to 85 degrees up to Feb. 11th., which was much cooler. She went ocean surf fishing but didn’t say how many fish she caught. The flowers and garden vegetables are beautiful. Mrs. Harry McDaniels was a recent caller at the Richard Rice home. The Kniman Grange had initiation of the new members February 9th. The visiting Grangers were from Indian Trail Grange and Roselawn Grange. The Kniman Grange held their second dance Saturday night. Had a very nice crowd. The eats counter women were kept busy, but could have sold more pie, so Grangers bring more pies the next time. The dance will be on Friday nights, starting, February 25th., with Glen Martin’s orchestra playing. The public is cordially invited. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Rice and family and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rice and family were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Rice.
