Tioga (28 Nov 1918)
The pie social and dance given by the Red Cross Saturday evening was a grand
success. Pete Susa got the quilt that was auctioned and the two that were
raffled were won by Delia Church and Willie Manthey. Mr. Manthey gave his quilt
back to the Red Cross and it was auctioned and Pete Larson bid it off. The bean
guessing contest furnished quite a lot of amusement and the candy was won by Mr.
Bever of Requa. He gave it back to the Red Cross and at auction it brought
$3.50. There were some fine looking pies and they brought a good price, due to
the enthusiasm of the auctioneer, Wm. Bradford, of Neillsville. The evening’s
entertainment and quilts netted $73.90. We wish to thank the Neillsville boys
for their help, and especially Mr. Bradford for his services and we hope they
had all the pie they wanted.
Mrs. Frank Wood donated a completed quilt to the Red Cross.
W.E. Church and son, George, drove to Neillsville Tuesday.
Clarence and Waite Wilcox, Morris Dickenson, Louis Hill and Jim Bigelow of Chili
are among the hunters here this season.
Arin Eastman and mother, Mrs. Wightman, and Vera Slover motored up from
Neillsville Saturday evening to take in the quilt raffle and dance.
