Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Shelley of South Main street entertained Tuesday at a potluck dinner in honor of his father Francis Shelley's 94th birthday. As the elder Mr. Shelley is a veteran of the Civil war and former member of John Stabler Post, G. A. R. of Payne, where he spent most of his long life, all the old soldiers that were able to come were invited to the celebration. The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion with Old Glory.. Patriotic music was also enjoyed in the afternoon and evening and all who attended had a most pleasant time. The host and several veterans all drove to the home of Dr. H. Radenbaugh who has been confined to his bed for the past several weeks. Dr. Radenbaugh was very much pleased by the visit of his comrades. Mr. Francis Shelley in whose honor this happy event took place, is at the home of his daughter Mrs. Fred White at Milan, Mich., where he has been spending several years.
