LETTER WAS LONG DELAYED
Clarke Bolser Gets One From Pouch of Ill-fated Plane
Clarke Bolser has just received a letter from Anton J. Sartoti, at Los Angeles, that was mailed January 10, 1930.
The letter had been lying, with a lot of others, in the mail pouch of a wrecked mail plan in the Rocky Mountains. Recently the plane was found, with all the mail and $75,000 in currency still intact in the mail compartment, by two sheepherders. The parachute belonging to the pilot was found alongside, indicating that he was not killed, but started out on foot to find help. He must have perished in the blizzard.

specializes in erecting church buildings.
Plymouth Presbyterian church is one of the oldest churches in Plymouth
county, the present building being built on the site of one erected in 1880,
which served as a house of worship until the new church was completed. A
large company of friends of the congregation will gather Sunday to assist in
the dedication of its handsome new house of worship.
This is one of the strong rural churches in Plymouth county and it has been
growing and flourishing under the leadership of its pastor, Rev. W. E.

LeMars Sentinel (LeMars, Plymouth County, Iowa) of 07/21/1930
NEW CHURCH NOW OPENED
First Plymouth Presbyterian Church Is Formally Dedicated Sunday Afternoon
SITE NEAR CRATHORNE
Replaces House of Worship Erected Fifty Years ago
The Plymouth Presbyterian congregation dedicated their new $14,000 house of
worship Sunday. The event was the occasion for a gathering of the friends
of that church from far and near as well as from the immediate community.
Plymouth Presbyterian church is one of the older churches of Plymouth
county, having been established in the seventies. Its first house of
worship, which the handsome church dedicated Sunday replaced, was erected in
1880 and the church cemetery alongside contains stones marking burials as
early as 1872.
Three services were held Sunday-at 10:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The
pastors of a number of other churches that had dismissed their services
as-sisted in these services as did also members of their choirs. At the
morning service Dr. J. J. DePree preached the sermon, taking for his subject
"Preparation For Dedication." Dr. A. Z. McGogney led in the responsive
reading at this service and the special music included a duet by Mrs. E. W.
Morton and Mrs. R. G. Eyers, of Union. The church choir also rendered
special music at each of the services.
At the afternoon service Dr. E. F. Rippey of First Presbyterian church Sioux
City, spoke on "The Completed Church," emphasizing that the church was not
the building but the members themselves and stressing five points essential
to a live church. At this service Miss Mildred Paulin contributed a vocal
number and the responsive service was led by Rev. Ahlbrecht, a former
pastor.
Following the afternoon service, contributions were solicited to make up a
balance of approximately $2,000 needed to complete the church according to
the original plans and $1,300 of the amount was raised before the formal
dedicatory service late in the afternoon. This will pay all expense
actually incurred, but will make it necessary to defer purchasing art
glass and some other things the building committee had planned for the new
edifice.
The actual cost of the new church is $13,911,10 and its builders have
erected an unusually convenient and attractive house of worship for that
amount of money. It has a basement under the whole church with every
facility for social gatherings and an auditorium which with gallery seats
about 200 people. The main room is furnished in oak and the basement in
fir. The grounds around the church have been attractively landscaped an
iron fence separating the church and the cemetery and attractive brick
posts of the same brick as is used in the church marking the entrances.
The church building is of brick and tile construction, furnace heated,
electric lighted and nothing apparently has been overlooked that might add
to its appearance and convenience. The entire community feels a
justifiable pride in this new church.
At the evening service the church was crowded for the third time during the
day and Rev. Ahlbrecht, for several years a pastor of the church, preached
the sermon.
For more than half a century Plymouth Presbyterian church has made its
influence felt in the religious and social life of its community and its
friends throughout the county congratulate its members and pastor Rev. W. E.
Smith, on their new church home.

Milton Moore, a former resident of Seney and LeMars, died at Haxtun,

Plymouth county in 1889. After the death of his father, which took place in
1892, his mother joined him here (and) they resided together until her death

Moore, of Haxtun, Colo.; Clarence Moore, of Seney, and two sisters, Mrs.

engaged.
The body was brought back to his old home for burial and the services
held in the Methodist church at Seney, Rev. M. L. Metcalf preaching the
sermon. Music was rendered by a male quartette.
