gled with the crowd during the even
ing and the administration is much
the third year as the leader or the 10.
cal society. The cabinet was loath
to accept the resignation, but finally
elected Lester Harvey in his place.
| Mr.. Feezer still retains his position
as president of the Oskaloosa District
Epworth League, this being the sec
i ond year in this office. In many re-
spects Mr.. Feezer has been as popu-
lar with the young people as any pres
ident in recent years and the meet
| ings of the society have always claim
ed the interest and enthusiasm of a
large following, not only among the
membership, but also outsiders.
Some time ago, in mentioning Z
| fact that the Perry family had been
in Oskaloosa for sixty years, an error
was made in stating that two of the
sisters were dead Now comes the
following communication, which is
self-explanatory, and is published
with pleasure: Seattle, July g. Gen
tlemen: The enclosed clipping from
one of the Oskaloosa papers rather
surprised me, for | assure you that
Mrs. j. B. Heating and Mrs. Albert l..
Kelsall, daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. l.
| S. Perry, are very much alive at the
present time, and are each residing
| in the beautiful city of Seattle. With
best wishes for all Oskaloosans and
especially the dear old Herald. ] am
very sincerely, Mrs. May A. Kelsall,
ia East Pine St." 70. @a# .
