a monument in Monroe county, this

first American Kresge was a pioneer
and that his 12 year old son was

The party was given in the nature
of a surprise and the ladies in charge
succeeded very well in accomplish-
ing their aim.
Earlier in the evening, Mrs. Hoff-
man in company with several other
ladies attended the meeting of the
Teachers’ Training class of the State
Sabbath School Association and after
the meeting it was suggested that
they call upon Mrs. Bowlby for a lit-
tle while that evening.
Upon arriving at the house they
found all the guests assembled and
Mrs. Hoffman was entirely at a loss
to know what it meant, but was soon
informed of the purpose of the gather-
ing. There were 49 invited guests
present, Among the events of the ev-
ening were music, speeches and va-
rious games were indulged in after
which an excellent luncheon was ser-
ved by the members of the Society.
Mrs. Hoffman was the recipient of
several beautiful presents, which
were presented to her by Mrs. W. A
Merrill in behalf of the Society. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. H. H.
Wiant, pastor of the church, W. M.
Kistler and W. A, Merrill. Mrs. Hoff-
man has been an active worker in th
society ever since coming to Garrett
and her many friends and co-work-
ers regret very much to see her leave
yet, besides the tokens of remem-
brance she received she also has the
best wishes and good-will of a host
of friends whom she left here. The
event was one not soon to be forgot-
ten. The following were among the
guests: Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hoff-
