Humbird (30 March 1967)

Spring is well on the way. How do I know? Saturday morning five of the plumpest, big robins were just outside my south window on the lawn happily picking away - ‘til a big purple crackle came and scared them away.

Rain fell nearly all day Easter, and due to the warmer weather and rain, Lake Emerson is at flood stage. W. F. Hein and Cullen Dignin are watching closely the rise of the water.

Among our sick folks: Mrs. Hefty is gaining quite well and soon may come home from the hospital; Mrs. Elgie Hardwick is in the Neillsville hospital, due to a blood clot in her leg; Mrs. Greta Anderson was taken to the Neillsville hospital Sunday morning by her daughter, Mrs. Fred Trachsel, for treatment. It is hoped all may be at home before long and in much better health.

Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Walker have moved into their home here after their winter’s stay in Neillsville.
