    1. January 14, 1926 - The Plain City Advocate (OHIO)
    2. Jacqueline Baral
    3. Dear Listers, A lovely person who's helped me so much in trying to locate my missing maternal grandfather sent me a couple of xeroxed news clippings that caught a few notices in the copying process. So instead of letting these little tidbits go to waste, I'm going transcribe them for my lists. Maybe they will help someone. Jacquie I've tried to make sure the transcriptions are perfect. - ------------------------------- CANAAN INSTITUTE IS WELL ATTENDED The farmers institute which was held at Canaan school building Monday and Tuesday was well attended and every feature was a success. The exhibits were larger than last year. The Advocate goes to press too soon for a complete report. It will appear next week. ********* MRS. LURA SHIVELY Mrs. Lura Shively died Sunday at University hospital in childbirth. She was twenty-four years of age is survived by her husband, Guy SHIVELY and three children. The body was sent to Point Pleasant, W. Va. by J.D. Ferguson, undertaker. ********* KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS Last week was surely a full one for the local lodge Knights of Pythias and the members thereof. On Thursday night was installation of officers for the ensuing term by L.H.ROUSE, D.G.C., with Dr.C.H.LUCAS acting as M.A. The following is the roster of officers which will guide Pythian destinies for the new term: Marion BOYER, C.C.; F.L.TAYLOR, V.C.; G.E.HERRIOTT, Prelate; Wm.BARNETSON, M.A.; Guy P.URTON, ?.G; Clyde H. RINGS, O.G.; W.P.VIGOR, K.R.&S.; Howard C. BLACK, M.F.; W.G.MITCHELL, M.E.; J.W.CUNNINGHAM, M.W., and C.H.LUCAS, Trustee. Mayor LEPBERT became a full fledged Knight. On Friday night the Columbus Dokkies gave their entertainment which was a varied, an interesting and an entertaining one; they would be very welcome to come again. The night was bad but Castle hall was filled to capacity. The pot-luck supper was veritable banquet. A full account of the evening's proceedings is found elsewhere in this issue of The Advocate. On Saturday night was the first game of basket ball played at home between a Columbus Pythian team and the home lodge team and resulted in a victory for the local team; a fuller account is also elsewhere in this issue of the paper. Lodge at 7 o'clock; be on time and bring in that petition. WOMAN'S CLUB The January meeting of the Woman's club was held in the Plain City club rooms on January 11. The subject for discussion was "Travel Talks." Mrs. Alice K. O'HARRA was the leader and gave a review of "Mark Twain's Travel in the Holyland and Egypt." Mrs. Evalyn C. PARKER told of her travels thru the Southern states and Cuba. Mrs. Jennie C. RICKARD read a description of the Appalachian trail now under construction from Maine to Georgia. After numerous interesting current events the meeting adjourned to meet January 25. ********* REVIVAL AT LONG'S CHAPEL Revival services at Long's Chapel are now going on. If you want Old Time Salvation, come. Come. Everybody is welcome. *********Another article too big to transcribe; however, this article mentions a little boy, JACKIE WISEMAN. "COLUMBUS DOKKIES GIVE PROGRAM HERE, Pot Luck Supper Served to Visitors, Pythians and Families" Quote: "Probably the most popular entertainment of the evening was JACKIE WISEMAN, a youngster of about three or four years who sang his songs like a veteran entertainer. His voice was strong for one of his age and his enunciation for one so young was especially fine."
