"A Glorious Fourth
Quite a number of families gathered at the residence of Mr. Levi
Washam’s, better known as the Logan Place, and spent the fourth
gloriously in the beautiful grove.  They served ice cream, lemonade, and
coca-cola, and at twelve o’clock the ladies began to spread white cloths
and my! My! Such a grand dinner they have prepared.  Everybody ate to
their satisfaction.  Those being present were Mr. and Mrs. W. S Washam
and two children, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Gothard and two children, Mr. and
Mrs. Miller and daughter, Miss Jeannie, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Gothard, Mr.
and Mrs. Acie Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Coon Washam, Mr. and Mrs. I. J.
Gothard, and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gothard.
Late in the afternoon a few songs were sang and played and all began
to leave for their homes praising the good time and the dear old fourth."
