DAYS OF YORE: 45 years ago
(From the Jan. 17, 1957, files of the Peabody Gazette-Herald)
Betty's, ladies ready-to-wear and dry goods store is celebrating the second anniversary in business here this week. It was just two years ago that Mrs. Betty Walker took over the proprietorship of the store from Herbert Wehry.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jewell and family visited her mother Mrs. H.A. Selvy in Florence Sunday.
Carol Yoder celebrated her 8th birthday Saturday by inviting several girlfriends for an afternoon "dress up tea." The girls, who wore their mother's dresses and shoes, spent the afternoon making hats and jewelry. Those present were Linda DeForest, Patsy Dirks, Joy Gibson, Carolyn Johnson, Karen Larsen, Janet Loewen, Lenora Manahan, Martha McGaugh, Ginny Reid, Vicki Roberts, and Denis Yoder.
