During any absence of several weeks
beyond the reach of definite communication, one can always count on changes—sometimes
even startling events to be reported. On returning to St. Anthony, I found this to be true. There
had been arrivals. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Halsey (who were expected) had arrived
and already become popular as well as valuable assets to the community. Dr.
Wakefield had also arrived with his attractive bride, her lively personality
and beautiful voice adding tot everyone’s pleasure as well as her interest and
co-operation in local affairs.
