Rev. C.A. Brown and Family Pounded by Congregation, Dec. 22, 1924

Rev. C.A. Brown Pounded

On December the 18th a large number, between 75 and 100, members of the Lutheran Chapel congregation met at the parsonage and gave Rev. C.A. Brown and family a most sumptuous dinner and a liberal pounding of flour, potatoes, meats, corn, sugar and many other things for the kitchen and pantry, for all of which Mr. and Mrs. Brown are grateful. Coming as it does just on the eve of their leaving the work, makes it all the more impressive. Those good and appreciative people are determined that their pastor shall not leave them empty handed.

Seventeen years of labor with and among these good people has developed a tie of love and friendship that death alone can sever.
