Dewitt does not
often mention going to evening events, although he would report that Edna
attended Grange or Rebecca meetings. When he commented on attending a
Historical Society event, I had to find out what might have piqued his
interest.
Looking back in
the Minutes of the Interlaken Historical Society, the following was recorded
for that April evening.
At the American
Legion Home on Monday evening, April 27, the members of the Historical Society
and guests were taken for a trip out west by Mr. John T. Lloyd and Mrs. Harold
Wyckoff by means of their colorful collection of pictures and interesting
comments.
At the close of
the meeting refreshments were served in the basement.
Several more
donations of pictures of our earlier village were received with appreciation.

Cooler and cloudy. Lawns and grass are growing fast now. Trees are beginning to
show some green.
We treated the
seed oats and worked around the house.
Several rain
showers the afternoon.
Went to
