110 YEARS AGO

The annual Flag Day outing of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held on Saturday, the event being a luncheon served by the chapter at the camp of Mrs. J. Olney Rowe at Goodyear Lake. The day and the scene were alike ideal and the 36 ladies who participated declared it one of the most delightful and enjoyable events of the organization. Those attending were all conveyed to the camp in motor cars and the luncheon was served at 1 o’clock. The camp was gaily decorated with flags, displayed conspicuously in every room and about the porch, the table also bearing small ones, giving the scene a very patriotic appearance. Later, a business session was held at which committees were named for the various activities of the year, and other matters discussed. The afternoon was passed in various amusements not the least of which were motorboat rides about the lake in the Rowe and Van Wie launch. The air was delightful and the view from the spacious porch of the camp house fairly enticing and the ladies seemed not too weary gazing upon it.
