We send happy 67th wedding anniversary wishes to George and Lila Shoales.

Tickets are still available for a chance on the crocheted seafoam green & off-white Mother's Day Afghan, offered by the Marion Historic Assn. I have tickets, as does Diane VanLare at the Leaning Barn. The Marion Food Pantry thanks Curves for their very generous and timely food donations. It was a thoughtful gesture and will be appreciated by many people in need.

'A mint still and sorghum crushery were located back of the Seybold mill. Mint was distilled, and sorghum was made from sugar cane which the farmers raised.'

On May 31, the day of our Memorial Day Parade and Services, there'll be a collection of Service Men's uniforms donated to our archives. The negatives, given by the Doug Orbaker Studio will, also be available to sort through. Let me know if you have items to share with our guests.
