Happenings

A wedding and a visit with friends were the occasion of a trip to Baltimore by Isabelle Bushart. The daughter of Houghton College friends was the bride at the wedding, with both the bride and groom being current students at Houghton. The friends visited were Audrey Watson and Frances Wright, fellow teachers with Isabelle in a Methodist Mission School in Olive Hill, Kentucky in the early '50s. The three girls had a great time looking at old pictures and remembering their early teaching days. Audrey's husband, Joe, (also a retired teacher), gave a guided tour of Baltimore the last day on the way to the airport. A most enjoyable week!

Members of the 'Tulip' group of the Red Hat Society gathered for a picnic at B. Forman Park in Pultneyville. The girls spent a lovely time together, enjoying the array of foods and conversations. (Names are being withheld by request.)

The American Maple Museum and Hall of Fame exhibits tell the history of maple syrup and sugar making-a 'sweetest' stopover. As we board the Coach with our box lunch we will drive along picturesque Route 26 and enjoy the beautiful colors as we head to the quaint old village of Constableville with some time to explore the historic buildings there. Dinner will be at the Buffalo Head Restaurant with approximate arrival home about 8:30 p.m. Call Isabelle at 926.7764 for reservations!

September 5, 1914: Building plans are now being considered by the officers of the Marion National Bank and it is expected that a handsome brick building will soon be erected on the corner lot purchased of the T.M. Clark estate. The bank has done more business since opening than was expected by most hopefuls. It certainly is a great convenience to business element of the town.
