From the Susquehanna County Independent, Montrose, Pennsylvania in July
of 1897:

BEGIN

  Herrick Centre - The Ladies Aid Society of the M.E. Church held an ice
cream social last week.  A large number of people were in attendence.
The tables were presided over very nicely by the Misses Bessie Curtis,
Laura Fletcher, Blanche Kishpaugh and Mabel Lyon.  The net receipts were $16.
