103rd YEAR FOR ROUND PRAIRIE

Special speaker will be the Rev. Bobby Dwiggins, pastor of the Mark (Ia.) Baptist church. The congregation, founded in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin WORKMAN near the present church site, built its first church of logs hewn by the members. Now drawing worshipers from the Salem, Stockport, Mount Pleasant and Lockridge areas, the church supports missionaries in Japan, Africa, Formosa and South America.
