About forty of the bonneville peo-
pie gathered at Mr.. Isaac Gilley's last
Friday night. It was Mrs. Gilley's
birthday and all were anxious to get
better acquainted with these people
who came into our neighborhood re-
Light refreshments were served and
we all hope these good people will
like their new home.
A most enjoyable evening was
spent at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roman Koons Monday evening, April
28th. It was in honor of their son
Roy's return from overseas, also his
birthday. Roy did good service for
his country, going over the top five
times and came out without a scratch.
He had some close calls; a shrapnel
cut the sole of his shoe and he was
gassed once Everyone is glad to see
the boy back.
Brice Trapp, another of our boys
from Homer is home again. Brice
got a dose of mustard gas which
leaves a breaking out on his face.
