Barry, thanks for posting these items. I've visited Nadine & Mable McClung many times when they were living in the beautiful McClung House in Garden Grove, IA. The wedding of Kitty and Max Baker was an interesting item to read also. The school bus stopped at their farm home for their children when I was going to school at LeRoy Consolidated. These items bring back many fond memories of Decatur County.
