Frank Wheeler, in Marion township,
resulted in the selection of j. W. Prl-
ser. of North Manchester. Ind. as SUI

and Elder Frank Wheeler, of Rockton.
The farm, which was purchased for use
as the Old Folks Home is the old
Logan Watson place. comprising eighty
acres. located FIVE miles northeast of
this city, in Marion township. or one
half mile northwest of the Iowa River
church. south house.
Several other matters pertaining TO
the opening OF the home, We're talked
over Fruit trees will be set out in the
spring. also there will be planted row
of trees to act as a windbreak. Mr..
Priser, the new superintendent. Will ar
rive here from Holland, where he is
visiting relatives. in company with his
wife, and will be ready TO assume
charge on March l. Several prospective
members of the Institution are already
waiting for the opening of the home.
While at the present time the middle
and southern districts of the Dunkard
church are the only ones interested In
the maintenance of the home, 1t is
thought that within a year the northern
district will join with their brethren.
This will make the institution even
more than statewide in scope, as the
territory included in the northern dis
trict embraces southern Minnesota and
South Dakota.
