Cindy Fischer sent this email for Weldon News. This is a great request for friends of Lois Morgan (a former of resident of Weldon area living on Highway #69 north of Weldon). Lois has moved to Manor Care in West Des Moines following rehab from a broken hip in May.
She continues to enjoy corresponding and visits with friends and family. At 95, she is still a ray sunshine to not only family and friends but has become a favorite of staff at the facility. Because of the erratic mail delivery at the facility, (I credit this to her legal name being Rosa and most mail being addressed to “Lois.”) I simply take her mail to her when I make the half-mile trek each day. Address mail cards and letters c/o Cindy Fischer, 1613 Thornwood Rd, WDM, IA 50265. She will love getting Christmas cards and letters from you.

Weldon Community Center held their Style Show by Snyders Clothing Shop of Humeston. There was a nice turn out. The models were from Weldon. Aunt Romee was there with her chicken in a cage entertaining the guests.
Dick and Connie Hines celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Nov. 21 at the Clarke County Fairgrounds Event Center. Their actual anniversary date is Dec. 31. They wanted to celebrate it early before the weather had a chance to turn wicked. Junction Creamery catered the celebration. The attendance was over 200 of their closest friends and relatives. A time-line slide presentation of Dick, Connie and their children’s lives triggered memories for most of the crowd. The celebration was superb and enjoyed by all.
