Mrs. TritschilIer's Letter.
MY Dear Ladies of the Sixty Club:
How often l have thought of the love,
ly day we spent together as the guests
of Mrs. Fred A. Miller at Grandma
Miller's cosy home at Centennial. What
a pleasant day it was-an ideal one for
us. They made US. forget hat most
of US had passed the milestone OF
three score and ten years, for while
enjoying ourselves gathering the beau
tiful wild flowers in the woods, we
were SO happy that a passer-by might
have taken us for sweet sixteen
from a distance. Dear Grandma Blake,
who has passed more milestones of
life than any of us have, seemed young
again, coming toward us with a smile
on her face and her arms full of beau
tiful flowers. Yes, Grandma Blake,
life teaches US all the lesson that our
hearts and spirits can remain young.
though our bodies may grow old; and
God give us all the strength and grace
to do likewise, not alone for our W
happiness, but for the sake of those
we love.
Glad for the Picture.
How kind it was of Mrs. Miller :
give us the group of the Sixty club
and the lear friends that made the
day so perfect for is. How glad / am
that l am with you in the picture, and
| shall never forget the pleasant day
[ spent July "a, 1907, with the Sixty
club at Centennial, in the beautiful
Centennial valley of Wyoming. And
SO that you will, think of the day we
spent so happily together, l will send
the Sixty club a little token to remem-
Der me by at their gatherings SOU
venir spoon from my home, Chillicothe,
O., which is also the birthplace of my
dear son, Otto, who has chosen the far
west for his nome but took the pro-
gressive spirit of Ohio with him.
State Seal on Spoon.
"The spoon has the great seal of
Ohio on it. 1t was taken by the first
secretary of Ohio, William Creighton,
over 100 years ago from his steps
from which he had so often seen the
sun rise over Mount Logan. This
mountain we revere because it was
the place where the great Indian chief,
Logan, the friend of the white man,
lived when the red men were lords OF
the forest. So the great seal of Ohio
represents the prosperity of the state,
and 1 thought a little history of it
would be interesting to you.
"Mr. Gramm's Mother"
Hoping that you, my deal friends,
are all enjoying good health, and that
our Heavenly Father will spare your
lives so that you may spend many hap.
Ply birthdays together in the coming
years, with much love to all the ladies
of the Sixty club and their friends,
remain Sincerely yours,
MARGARET TRITSCHILLER
COR as I am known among you, Mr.
Gramm's mother"
