Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Squires of
Rockford ILL.,, residents in this section
about twenty years ago, spent a few
days in town this week calling on old
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Edmonds of
Daytona Beach, have been guests at
the Miller House for the past week
and will remain in the house for a
time after the departure of Mr.. Mill
er Mr.. and Mrs. Edmonds for a
number of years had winter home
in Pomona, and have many friends
who are much pleased to have a visit
with them before their return to Ar.
lington, N. J.
Mrs. H. C. Osborne and James Mill
err left Wednesday for their home in
Danbury, Conn. We always regret
the departure of our winter colonists,
but wish them a pleasant summer,
and hope for their return next season.
Mrs. C. A. Smith, Misses Alfredo
and Frances, Mrs. Annie Lyle and
little granddaughter Catherine Billet,
left early in the week for Colum-
bia, Pa. After visit with relatives
in Columbia, Mrs. Smith and daugh-
ters will join Mr.. Smith in Detroit,
Mich, where he holds a responsible
position with the Hudson Motor Co.
These friends will be greatly missed
and departed with hosts of good wish
es for enjoyment and prosperity in
their northern home. Mrs. Margaret
Rogers will occupy the Smith house
for the summer.
The "Silver Tea" last week was
held in the Town Hall, and attended
by about forty of our people and
friends from Lake Como. The room
was artistically decorated with pink
and green crepe paper and flowers,
and refreshments of cake and cocoa
were served. At this Tea, Mrs. C.
A. Smith was given a cameo pendant
and gold chain as parting gift
from her friends.
Mrs. C. A. Knowlton entertained
her Sunday School class Saturday af-
ternoon. The color scheme in the din
ing room was green and yellow, and
was most attractive. Delicious re-
freshments were served, and each
guest received a beautiful paper gon-
ouil and Easter cards and eggs for
favors. The party was in honor of
Misses Alfredo and Frances Smith,
who have since departed for the north,
and we are sure the young ladies will
long remember this delightful after
noon.
Julius Franz, a young man from
Charleston, N. c., accompanied Elliott
Dunn on his over Sunday visit at
home.
C. C. Middleton spent few days
this week with his relatives in Hor-
tense, Ga. During his absence the
store was in charge of E. P. Mar
shall.
Mrs. j. H. Pegram and small daugh-
ter have gone to Orange Springs for
ten days visit before returning to
their home near Orlando.
A. H. Wedertz is spending his days
in strenuous work on his house, and
hopes before the month is out to have
it ready for occupancy.
An Appreciation.
Pomona, April II, 1916.
Mr.. James Miller and Family, Dam
bury, Conn.,, and Pomona, Fla:
AS neighbors and friends of Mrs.
Miller as we'll as associates in the
Pomona Village Improvement Asso-
ciation we wish in this memorial let
ter to express, in some degree, our
appreciation of your wife and moth
er as co-worker, neighbor and
friend. Her efficiency and cheerful
performance of each duty laid upon
her, whether in the home the commu-
nifty or the church, gave her large
place in Pomona. Her optimism, her
frankness as well as her obliging
spirit and faithful industry, made her
influence an inspiration and an uplift
to all who knew her WELL.
Her sudden removal caused deep
sorrow in the entire community, and
realization of the great loss to you
as a family as we'll as to the various
circles in which she wrought for the
general good.
While sorrowing for the loss of her
presence, we are grateful to an over
ruling Providence that led her to Po-
mona and for the influence of her life
which will always abide. With this let
ter goes to you the assurance of our
sympathy and our love, and copy of
it spread upon our records will be a
permanent memorial to her.
By vote of the Village Improve
ment Association at regular meet
ing April 7th, 1916.
