Bob
MORGAN, aged 45, of Richlands, was drowned last Saturday night while from hunting in a lake on the Repass farm at Wardell.
MORGAN'S body was recovered from the lake Sunday morning after Bob HALE had summoned aid when he saw
MORGAN slip and fall into the lake and fail to come up. "Squirrely"
BOGGESS, aged 18, of Richlands, dived for the body and succeeded in bringing it to the surface.
HALE told officers that he had been hunting frogs on one side of the lake when he saw
MORGAN, who was wading on the other side, slip into the water. MORGAN was unable to swim and
HALE hurried for aid. Funeral services were held at the Richlands Christian church at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. He is survived by his widow and two daughters, several brothers and sisters. He was the son of the late Henry
MORGAN and Mrs. Elizabeth MORGAN.
The American Legion Auxiliary of the Sidney Couling unit was honored on last Wednesday by a visit from Mrs. T.E.
CHAPMAN, chairman of the Ninth District. A representative group of local members were at Memorial Hall to greet Mrs.
CHAPMAN, who gave a most interesting and informative talk on various phases of auxiliary work. Mrs.
CHAPMAN recommended and effected the organization of a Past President's Parley Club, the following officers being elected: President, Mrs. J.B.
HELDRETH; Vice-president, Mrs. Irene PEERY, Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. A.J.
WITTEN. During an open forum several problems were discussed freely and the members felt greatly enriched from Mrs.
CHAPMAN'S store of knowledge and benefited by her wise counsel. In an impressive installation service the following officers were inducted into office: President, Mrs. Albert
PEERY; First Vice-President, Mrs. D.M. HUBBARD; Second Vice-President, Mrs. R.O.
VANDYKE; Third Vice-President, Mrs. G.A. POBST; Secretary, Mrs. A.J.
WITTEN; Treasurer, Mrs. L.D. GEORGESON; Historian, Mrs. W.E
KISER; Chaplain, Mrs. Rhea MOORE; Sergeant at Arms, Mrs. O.C.
GREGORY. The members joined Mrs. CHAPMAN at lunch in the River Jack tea room, and from there she was accompanied to Narrows by Mr. and Mrs. W.E.
KISER, Mrs. J.B. HELDRETH and Mrs. V.L. STEVENSON. The local unit is looking forward to another visit from Mrs.
CHAPMAN in October, at which time the fall rally for the Ninth District will convene here.
