News of friends and neighbors was always of interest to others. It defined their place in their community and often provided a connection to the rest of the world. The following items were gleaned from news of the Weston neighborhood in the Crittenden Record-Press (Marion, Kentucky) of 25 April 1912, page 4.
Misses Vera, Beatryce and Lillian Bennett were the pleasant callers of Mrs. Rissie Cain Sunday.
Nearly all the farmers about our neighborhood have hauled off their tobacco and are breaking ground for a new crop.
Clarence Black, of Webster county, has decided to come back to Crittenden to live.
Mrs. Ruth Swansey and children visited her sister, Mrs. Mattie Robinson Saturday and Sunday.
Ed Taylor is all smiles; it’s a fine boy.
Rev. O.D. Spence failed to fill his appointment here Saturday and Sunday on account of the high water. We are glad to say this is the first time Bro. Spence ever failed to fill the pulpit for the past two years. He came through those deep snows we had during our winter. Hurrah for our little pastor.
Mr. and Mrs. M.L. Wilson, Micky Hughes and Clarence Black spent Sunday with J.W. Bennett and family.
Mrs. Kate Barnes, of Bells Mines, was in our little town Saturday doing some trading.
Mrs. Ella Knott was called Wednesday to the bedside of her mother, who is seriously ill at her home in Macon, Mo.
