Neillsville Locals (5 July 1973)

Mrs. Hattie Forman and Mrs. Emma Bruss spent Sunday afternoon, June 24 at the home of Miss Estelle Krejci and were supper guests there. In the evening, Mrs. Elmer Georgas took the ladies for a ride to Mrs. Forman’s home farm in the Town of York, where they found the yard filled with seven loads of baled hay which the Lavene family had put up during the day. The Lloyd Grassman family came over in the evening and helped the Lavene’s unload the hay and put it in the barn. The women enjoyed seeing the bales being elevated into the mow. Many are farmers took advantage of the good week end weather and worked through Sunday in an effort to catch up on their spring plowing, planting and haying.

Mr. and Mrs. DeWayne Howard and children, Lisa and Kevin, of Houston, TX., spent two weeks recently with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Howard, and the Howard’s other son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Howard and son, Todd, of Thorp spent some vacation time there during that period as well. Guests for an evening gathering at the Howard home also included Richard Hagedorn, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hoffmann, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shaw and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Fitzmaurice, and Tyler Urban. The three Howard families spent several days in Milwaukee with the Howard daughters and their families, Mr. and Mrs. John Mazola and children and Mr. and Mrs. Al Neumann and son, and the DeWayne Howards left from there to return to Texas.
