ILLYRIA UNION CHURCH REOPENING
The people residing in the city limits of Elgin
have been greatly interested in the new church project under way,
which is so rapidly nearing completion under the directing hand of
Contractor Kiple. But we haven’t anything on the Illyria and
Highland township farmers. They had Contracted Butler complete an
improvement that speaks well of their progressive spirit and
community solidarity. We refer to the raising of the Illyria Union
church, the installation of a new heating plant and the remodeling
and equipping of a splendid new basement, comprising a large and
wall appointed kitchen and a fine, commodious social and banquet
room. A new cistern will provide water for the kitchen. The exterior
of the building is being treated with a new coat of paint and on
Sunday, August 29, there will be held a formal reopening service
with Dr. Bennett, of Highland Park College, of Des Moines, as chief
speaker. Not content with this the farmer’s wives has arranged for a
huge banquet on the Monday night following at which Dr. Bennett will
again speak. Then on Tuesday evening the young people not to be
outdone have arranged for an evening of entertainment.
