Mr. and Mrs. O. Guy Norwood of Lake St. spent the holiday in Little Falls as guests of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E. Brown Mills and their children, William, Havey and Guy.

Hamburg Sun, 19602481
When Dorothy Norwood officially accepted the gavel as Hamburg Women's Club's new president, at the club's annual luncheon recently at Wanakah, her daughter, Dolly (Mrs. E. Brown Mills) drove all the way from Little Falls to be present. She left home at 6 a.m. and made it here, via Thruway, for the 12:30 luncheon. And I must say mother and daughter were mighty proud of each other.
