DAYS OF YORE: 50 years ago
(From the Aug. 21, 1952 files of the Peabody Gazette-Herald)
Last Thursday night Carl Carson went fishing with Kent Covell and Brock Baker. Luck didn't run too good, between the three of them, they got only one apiece worth saving. A few little bait-size perch were caught so they set themselves some bank lines. Carl called them mid-morning Friday and told them they'd better go see what they had. And they sure enough did have a great big beautiful shovel head catfish weighing in at 11 1/2 pounds. At last report Brock and Kent were worried about getting their pictures taken. Congratulations, boys.
Mr. and Mrs. Willis Mellott, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Mellott, and Mr. and Mrs. Jay Harper returned recently from their 15-day vacation trip. They visited places of interest in Washington, D.C., Boston, New Hampshire, Niagara Falls, Detroit, Chicago, and then home.
Sally and Judy Kirkpatrick and Jackie Sue Evans spent the weekend in Herington with Mrs. Golda Seabury.
Mr. and Mrs. Jewell Davis and daughters had her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Art Williams of Wamego, as their guests for the weekend.
