“The whole suburb mourns the loss of Miss Thelma Louise Smith, one of the young teachers of the Birney Public School, and beloved daughter of Abraham H. Smith, one of the young teachers of the Birney Public School, and beloved daughter of Abraham H. Smith, a teacher at the James Garfield School, and Mrs. Rosa C. Smith. Funeral services were held on Sunday from St. Phillip’s Chapel. Rev. W. V. Tunnel officiated. Many from the teaching force attended the services. Thus within a period of two school terms Birney School has lost three splendid young teachers, namely Misses Ray Cornish, Edith Madden and Thelma L. Smith.
Fourth of July was quite lively. The S. W. Stark Lodge of Pythians entertained several thousand of its friends at Green Willow Park. Messrs. Blunt, Banks and other members of the community deserve great praise for the success of this outing.”
