Do you remember Decoration Day?

by Marge Zink and Julia Snethen

Mt. Zion Home Bible study meets each Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Tom and Beverly Pelkey home to study the Bible with eight in attendance.

Finding news two times in five day is not in the Mt. Zion area.

In our area MODOT has been mowing the road right away sure looks nice lot easier to see the deer and turkeys; but those people who do the mowing sure are brave, bet they don’t have to go to an amusement park to have a thrilling ride.

Dixie Peterson has been resting after her trip to Branson and the doctors. She has found time to freeze some strawberries.

Sympathy to the family of Stanley Zink who passed away May 24, no service is planned.

Do you remember when Memorial Day was called Decoration Day, if I remember right it fell on any day of the week it was none of this Monday stuff. We would have a carry-in dinner at the church where you had spent the morning putting fresh flowers on graves of family and friends, the afternoon was spent playing and visiting.

Julia Snethen went to Clinton on Monday to get a perm and do some errands and to get the car ready for the weekend trip. Friday morning early John, Julia, and Ron Thompson left for Perryton, TX, to attend Jeffrey Thompson graduation son of James Thompson Jr and Jamie.

Michael Snethen visited his dad on Memorial Day where they went to Mt. Zion Cemetery to decorated graves.
