sending twice as not seeing it go through from grandmother West's scrapbook Barry West from the Journal-Reporter Feb. 13, 1936 (This article mentions some relatives of mine from Van Wert) Patt Fulton or anyone know if C. M. West is a son of Isaac West? We wish to make a correction in the last issue of the Four Corner news. The item read: Mrs. C. M. West received a letter from her uncle, George McConnell of Snyder, Colorado, dated Nov. 22. It should have read Jan. 22, instead. Well, fold, who said that the ground hog didn,t see his shadow. Anyhow it is snowing to beat the band this Monday Morning. Mrs. Sam Carpenter and son Leland visited Wednesday in the Clinton Carpenter home. Van Wert callers Saturday were Will Lewis, C. M. West, and son, Aaron Fry, Stewart Glen, Mr. and Mrs. Will DeVore and family. Sunday dinner guests in the Stewart Glen home were Mr. and Mrs. Sam Carpenter and Mr. and Mrs. C. M. West and sons. This community was deeply grieved to hear of the passing of Dr. Tallman of Van Wert, on Saturday morning, Feb. 1. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved wife and relatives. Feb. 3rd found that Overton school had not been closed during the severe weather. We are looking forward to some new pupils the first of March. We are having a blizzard this Saturday morning. Don't look as though we would get out until in the spring. Our mail carrier is still having to go on foot and carrying the mail. Everett Brown has been delivering the mail on this route. On Feb. 1 it being Stewart Glen's birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Carpenter and son Leland, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. West and sons, Dale Dewain and Laver all went in for a surprise on him and, was he surprised, is only putting it mildly. The evening was spent in visiting and listening to the radio. At a late hour ice cream and cake were served. All departed for their homes after midnight wishing Stewart many more happy birthdays. Laver West spent Saturday night with Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Glen. The men folk in this neighborhood are kept real busy gathering up the wood to keep the home fires burning. Well, thanks Weldon, for giving us a tip on feeding the little birds. We put out some beef. There are a few of the little snow birds that come up to eat, but the jay birds are boss. We have a nice bunch of quail that have been feeding in our corn crib all winter and also the pheasants come to the barn for feed. How's that for feeding the birds. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fry and Oscar Reed were Van Wert callers Friday. Miss Phyllis Lewis got orders to close the Overton school on account of the drifted roads and the bad weather. We are still on the job and trying not to shirk with the news, but as the roads are full out here and they have been unable to do any shoveling to get them open since the big snow. We are doing our best and so is the mail man who is walking and carrying the mail to deliver it out this way.
