Barbara Barr's Column

Proud grandma: First order of business, of course, is the fact that I am proud grandmother of my fourth great-grandchild Tyler Lucas Coates. He was born at Inova Loudoun Hospital on Sept. 25 and weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces. The proud parents are Luke and April Coates.

Mount Pleasant: The trustees of the Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church will be meeting on Thursday, Oct. 11, at 6:30 p.m. and the administrative council will be meeting at 7:30 p.m.

Baker trips:
Allen and Kathryn Baker recently traveled to New York to visit their granddaughter, Michelle, and her husband. Michelle's husband is in the Air Force and he and his family will be stationed in Turkey for two years.

Umbaugh/Potts reunion: The Umbaugh/Potts reunion was held at the Lion's Club Picnic area in Petersville, Md. Quite a few people in the Taylorstown area attended this reunion to gather with other relatives and friends. Of course there was lots of good food and people sat around and talked about old times while the younger ones played games. It is good to know that people still take time out for family gatherings.

Fall dinners: Bethel United Methodist Church at Stumptown will be having its final fall dinner on Saturday, Oct. 13, 5-7 p.m.

Birthdays: Happy birthday to Isabella Fletcher, Rick Ryker, Carol Whitmer, Eugene Ayers, Kathy Wilt, Levi Shipley, Rose Coates, Brian Biggs and Brittany Loy.

In sympathy: Sympathy and prayers are extended to the family of Joe Tyrrell.
