Saturday saw a large gathering at the Oak Grove Cemetery. The relatives of John and Barbara Clark (Lee Shearer’s cousins) cemented the headstone of Barbara. John and three friends that always fished together made a pact to be buried together, with the tombstone saying “Gone Fishing” and that had just been delivered. Flowers were laid and wine was drunk in their honor by all the four’s relatives. A picnic lunch followed.

The Knights Ferry Garden Club met at the clubhouse to finalize plans for making Pumpkin Rolls. There will be a price increase because eggs and other items have escalated in price. Profits take care of the Plaza and give an OHS student a scholarship.
