Friends Learn of Hawkins Nuptials;
Reschedule Jerome Activities
  JEROME – During the holidays friends here learned of the marriage of Bill Hawkins, so of Mr. and Mrs. William Hawkins of Davenport.  He lived here and was very active in youth affairs until the family moved to Davenport.  There he attended school, graduated from high school and attended the University of Chicago.  The following is a brief report of the wedding from the Springfield, Ill., paper:
  “The first wedding to be held in the chapel of the new First Congregational church was Miss Francia Ann Kozelka, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kozelka of Springfield, Ill., to William Richard Hawkins of Davenport at 4:30 on Dec. 26, 1959.  Miss Martha Cotton of Springfield was the bride’s matron of honor and James R. Moeller of Walcott was Hawkins’ best man.
  “A reception was held in the church parlors after the wedding ceremony.
  “The newlyweds are third-year students at the University of Chicago and have returned to school.  They live at 5520 Ellis Ave., Apt. 1 E, Chicago, Ill.”
  This community wishes the young couple the best of everything.
  Most all activities were called off last week because of ice on the roads and streets.
  WSCS will meet Thursday for its cooperative dinner.  Mrs. J. G. Morris will be lesson leader and Mrs. J. W. Workman will have the devotions.
  Lincoln Lions 4-H was also called off on Wednesday evening and their meeting will be called later.

  Mrs. Walter White of east of town was taken to the hospital in Centerville Friday for observation.
  Marion Zemo of Davenport spent the week end at the parental Frank Zemo home.
  When word was received here of the death of Ova Kinney, the old time people thought of the music he and his sister furnished for our church when they were young.  They often joined with other people to make a quartet.

  Mrs. Joe Beer, Mrs. Gail Felkner, Mrs. W.  R. Hefner, Mrs. James Felkner and Mrs. Bert Murphy attended a meeting of the parsonage committee of the different churches on the Mystic circuit Sunday afternoon at the parsonage in Mystic.  They were making plans for some parsonage improvements.
  Mrs. Ivan Long spent Friday at the Frank Long home.
  Paul Seals and two sons of Bloomfield spent Sunday at the parental Claude Seals home.
  Mr. and Mrs. George Sidles spent Sunday in Milton with the Donald Howells.
