The TALES you probably never heard about

BOYLE CHURCH CLOSED, WILL REOPEN EASTER

[Welland Tribune February 4, 1947]

Boyle, Feb. 4- The January meeting of the Women’s Association was held at the home of Mrs. William Cutler with a large attendance. The president Mrs. W.J. Anderson conducted the meeting. Reports were given by the secretary, Mrs. Amos Beamer and the treasurer, Mrs. Gordon J. Robins. Several items of business were discussed. It was decided to hold a quilting at the home of Mrs. Cutler to complete the quilt that is being sold to one of the members. Another lady is hiring the society to make three quilts for her, and it was decided to meet weekly to complete these. It was also decided to close the church for the winter months, as the attendance was so poor due to illness and road conditions. It will reopen Easter Sunday, April 6.

The offering was received by Mrs. G. J. Robins and the flower fund donations by Mrs. J. Jamieson. Mrs. Beamer conducted an interesting contest which was won by Mrs Anderson. The program for the February meeting will be arranged by Mrs. Gordon J. Robins. The hymns will be selected by Mrs. Roy E. Overholt.

Refreshments were served by the hostess Mrs. Cutler assisted by her sister Mrs. Judson Jamieson and Mrs. Cecil Gracey.
