A couple of weeks ago Kim Hoisington (Dan & Mona's daughter-in-law) sent these articles to me.  It is so thoughtful when people think of this blog when they read something.  Thank You Kim - and Dan too.

"Dan and I found these while going through Mt Hermon cemetery papers and thought they we"re interesting.
Dan thought "Swede" graduated from Paradise in 35 or 36.

Have a great afternoon!

These two articles are typed below.

I typed the Paradise Farmer, as I thought it was somewhat hard to read.  It was very interesting.
