Carroll County Indiana Historical Society - Poundstone Reunion Invitation 1929

I found an old invitation to the Poundstone Reunion at the Carroll County Indiana Historical Society.  I located it in the Hyman family file.

Poundstone Reunion again this year.
Come, every cousin, and be of good cheer,
The first Sunday in August, the fourth, if you please.
The year on-nine-two-nine, come, be at your ease.
For a little vacation, it'll do you all good;
And the Hoosiers again will furnish the food.
Of course, all of our homes will be open for guests,
So come from the east, south, north and the west.
We'll meet in the Young America school-house
Which stands on the corner of the first Poundstone farm.
In Cass County,  Indiana, a place we do love;
Come early, stay late, at the place stated above.
Young America is south of Logansport, in miles
Fifteen in number, a drive full of smiles.
North of Indianapolis you will find ity by sivty,
So don't get confused and go down to Dixie.
Please write the secretary that you are coming.
So we Hoosiers can have all things buzzing and humming.

Everett Zeck, Pres.
Route 2, Galveston, Ind

Mrs. Flora Williamson, Sec'y
Young America, Indiana

cir 1885                                                                                     cir 1910 Dedicated in 1880, St. Mary’s hospital was fully supported by the residents of Tucson. Originally it had been planned as a school, however, the Bishop Salpointe decided to make the school a hospital as it neared its completion. The hospital opened with twelve beds, Dr. John C. Hardy, and four Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelot: Sister St. Martin Dunn, Sister Julia Ford, Sister Basil Morris, and Sister Mary John Noli. A second story was added to the hospital in 1882. The physician staff grew by six and the hospital had the capacity of fifty beds by 1900.   The Arizona State Genealogical Society sells a book documenting admissions to the hospital 1909 to 1920.
