TROY.
There was very pleasant gathering at the
home of John H. Smith at Troy Center the
afternoon of July 18th. The occasion was the
seventy fifth birthday of Mrs. Sarah j.
Stevens, our local poetess. The affair was a
complete SURPRISE to her. A lawn party had
been planned, but clouds came up with slight
showers, making it necessary to go indoors
where delicious refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served and selections were rendered
by a fine Edison phonograph. Mrs. Stevens
was presented with book tonta ming written
quotations and the signatures of those present,
who numbered about twenty. Mrs. Stevens is
one of the bestowed women in Troy and many
more would have been delighted to do her
honor but were prevented by circumstances
from being present on this occasion. -. Til
