People's Pilot, Volume 2, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 March 1893 — WHEATFIELD. [ARTICLE]

WHEATFIELD.

We have had very bad weather and this town is all in a slush, and still it booms. Houses are still being erected. There are to be five new ones in the near future. Sickness has been the excitement among the children. There has been quite a number of deaths among them. Mr. and Mrs. James Diamond buried their beloved baby. There was no funeral services except a few remarks by Eld. P. E. Davis at the grave. The Wheatfield schools have closed on account of measles. Mrs. White, of Hebron, paid us a pleasant visit March 13, and organized an L. T. L. with a membership of twenty-eight. Wheatfield is determined not to be behind. * *
