Happenings Last week ... the information about '1914' was information on the July 4th Firemen's Celebration of the Holiday, when folks really celebrated with Karaoke, picnics and activities to fill in the hours of the entire day. Gary McLouth and Roger Klaver have helped by naming the Boy Scouts in last week's paper - Thanks! Do you remember - No one ever asked where the car keys, were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? July 7, 1888 - Henry McOmber's little girl fell from a tree and fractured her arm Wednesday morning. It will soon be sweet corn season! Try slathering a husked ear of corn with mayo, dust with parmesan cheese and a dash of chili powder, salt & pepper, wrap in foil, put on the grill or in a 350-deg. oven for 20 minutes. President George Washington and wife, Martha spent $200 on ice cream during the summer of 1790. Sue and Paul Devlin invited family members and friends over for 'fried dough' Sunday afternoon. The 'Ministry of Music' at the Second Reformed Church on July 2 was presented by the combined families of Larry Nevlezer and Andy Steensma, who presented the song 'The Statue of Liberty.' Happy July 6 Birthday to Isabelle Bushart. Rodney and Helen Adriaansen and Irene Klaeysen attended the Horseheads High School graduation on June 24. Grandson Bradley Adriaansen graduated with honors in a class of 350. This fall he will study Automotive Engineering at RIT. I enjoyed tea and pie at the home of Alice Flass on Saturday. She helped me to pin-point information on Marion history for our town files. We talked of former residents on Union and Buffalo Streets and buildings that once graced our town. One interest was her father's, Robert Murphy's, hitch barn and dance hall and skating rink that was behind the store downtown. Copyright
