MR. & MRS. LYLE SHERMAN – RECEPTION
About one hundred friends of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Sherman (Iva Smith Sherman) gathered at the Elk Run Church basement Saturday evening, November 1931 for a reception and shower. The room and tables were gayly decorated, an enjoyable program was given, and the gifts were presented by Ermel Williams, Nellie Smith and Esther Balty, with the following verse:
We’re thankful for our blessings
All the year through;
And we’re very grateful
For friends like you
We bring to you best wishes,
With gifts of many friends,
Wishing you much happiness
And joys without an end.

A basket beautifully decorated in orange and white, was filled with gifts and placed on a small wagon. This was drawn by Ermel Williams and Nellie Smith, who wore orange crepe paper costumes. They were driven by Esther Baity, who wore a white costume. There certainly was large variety of beautiful and useful gifts and the children made many trips to deliver them. After the gifts were opened all enjoyed a delicious lunch, then departed with all good wishes to the honored guests, who surely are faithful and capable workers in the Elk Run church and Sunday School, and have a host of friends.

Had Flood Experience
Tom and Anna Wood and Mr. & Mrs. Lyle Sherman have returned from their 2000-mile trip through the middle west. They report having driven through water almost to the running boards on the car and seeing many houses standing in water well up to the first floor. We live in a nice part of the country after all, don't we?
