Recently Clyde Taylor brought several books given to the Gleason Library by and in memory of Frances Mikel.

Kenneth Lemonds, 82, died suddenly Tuesday, August 18. Services were Friday, August 20, at Williams Funeral Home with burial in Everett’s Chapel Cemetery. He leaves his wife, Mary Martha; a son, Kenneth; three stepdaughters that he raised, Marsha Pruiton, Janet Peterson and Carol Burton, all of Kansas; a stepson, Tommy Grooms; two more  stepdaughters, Debbie Rooks and Pat Delaney; three sisters, Julia Fowler, Audrey Crossett, and Marjorie Soper (his twin); and a brother, Ray Lemonds.

Jimmy Glenn was in Paris hospital for a heart catherization and treatment over the weekend.

Howard Ross upended his tractor last Thursday. Luckily the tractor cab probably saved his life. He was carried to the hospital and received three broken ribs and a concussion. He’s home now and very sore and painful.

Andrew Wilson, son of Andy and Jill Wilson, fell backwards from a cart hitting his head on concrete. He was taken to Vanderbilt with a concussion. He stayed overnight, then was home but vomiting all week. He was carried to Henry County Hospital on Thursday where he had a stress ulcer and was treated for that and fed intravenously as he was dehydrated. He’s better now but missed the entire first week of school.

Martha Poyner is still undergoing rehab at Plumley in Paris following a fall that fractured her pelvic bone.

Buck Garner is not doing as well. He is unable to get around on his walker now.

Bro. Jack Dickerson, a former pastor of Gleason First Methodist and New Valley, is very ill at Maplewood Health Care Center, room 204, 100 Cherrywood Place, Jackson, TN 38305. His wife, Sarah, is also a patient there for some years.

Jim Phelps is a member of the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle group who do many good things to honor veterans and those now serving. He is trying to identify all veterans buried at Hopewell Cemetery. Before Veteran’s Day in November, they hope to have all veterans identified and will place an American flag on the grave of each one. If you have a family member or know of any veteran buried at Hopewell, please call him at cell #514-0733 or 364-2206 during the day.

A baby tea for Sarah and Shay Ellis and their expected October arrival of baby boy Rowen was Sunday afternoon at First Baptist Church. They received enough gifts for two or three babies but little Rowen will have all he can wear. So many useful and needed gifts were presented to the radiant mother.

Kayla Hudson, who has been on a 10-day mission trip to Uganda, Africa, has returned from a very inspirational and fulfilling mission trip to several different orphanages seeing hundreds of children. She was with the Union University Lady Bulldogs basketball team, friends and sponsors. In one remote area they visited, they were the first white skinned people they had ever seen. At first the people were frightened of them but soon became friendly.

Kayla reports that it was the greatest religious experience she had ever had. God bless all of them, the visitors and the African people.
