The regular musician at Friendship, Brenda H. Frank, is recuperating following a car accident that required surgery, a long therapy, and recuperation. Thank you Cookie and Bonnie, and get well wishes are sent to Brenda.

Fort Dennis?

Anyone with information about the location of historic Fort Dennis should contact this column.

According to one source, Fort Dennis was located in the vicinity of the intersection of Hwy. 176 and Hwy. 27, about 10 miles west of Carnes Crossroads.

If you’ve ever heard of this old fort or know someone who may know, let’s attempt to locate it. It would be an ideal spot for an historical marker. 

Get Well

Frances Huntley is recuperating from recent heart surgery in Columbia, and soon will be at the home of her daughter Ramona Dixon after the hospital stay.

Jewel Weatherford must be delighted to be at home once again after breaking her leg and enduring a long hospitalization and recuperation away from home.

Lenwood Rudd recently had heart surgery  in another state where he resides. Best wishes, Lenwood.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to the Rev. Reggie Rowell, who turned 60 on March 8.
