Carter William Barrett<br />
celebrated his fifth birthday<br />
on Dec. 4. A Globetrotter<br />
themed party was held for<br />
friends and family.<br />
Later that same day, Ron<br />
and I were pleasantly surprised<br />
with a fiftieth wedding<br />
anniversary party hosted by<br />
our children. We enjoyed<br />
catching up with friends and<br />
family whom we haven’t seen<br />
in a long time. Thanks to everyone<br />
who came out to make<br />
our celebration special and<br />
to Jennie, Melissa, Krista,<br />
Mark, and their families for<br />
putting the party together.<br />
It was nice to have a party<br />
where I didn’t have to do all<br />
of the preparations myself!!!<br />
The New Year’s Eve dance<br />
at St. Joseph American Legion<br />
Post 464 was well attended.<br />
Everyone enjoyed dancing<br />
and being with friends.<br />
Proceeds from this year’s<br />
event went to the Clausen<br />
Crusaders. Joel and Andrea<br />
(Wolfram) Clausen and their<br />
family are going through a<br />
difficult time as their tenmonth-old<br />
son has been<br />
diagnosed with a rare disease<br />
called Krabbe disease. Andrea<br />
is a graduate of ECHS and the<br />
O<br />
ur<br />
Carter Barrett celebrated<br />
his fifth birthday.<br />
daughter of Rick and Peggy<br />
Wolfram. Donations were also<br />
taken for the YES home.<br />
Get well wishes go out to<br />
Mary Fox and Annie Werner.<br />
Hope both of you are soon<br />
feeling much better.<br />
Deepest sympathies go<br />
out to the families of Alene<br />
Schuman and Rita Wuestefeld.<br />
All will miss Alene’s smile<br />
and her wonderful cooking.<br />
She, along with her sister<br />
Emma Oehlman and Mary<br />
Cecile Maune cooked for so<br />
many of the local weddings<br />
over the years. She was a<br />
great mother, grandmother,<br />
and great-grandmother. She<br />
prepared many meals for our<br />
fire department Christmas<br />
parties and she always looked<br />
forward to the card games that<br />
would follow after the meal.<br />
She is now in heaven with<br />
William.<br />
Rita was my next door<br />
neighbor when I grew up. I<br />
always enjoyed visiting with<br />
her. She laughed a lot, and so<br />
enjoyed Christmas. Her home<br />
was always decked out with<br />
Communities<br />
Christmas lights. She was a<br />
great mother, grandmother, and<br />
great-grandmother. She is at<br />
peace and will celebrate Christmas<br />
once again with Ralph.<br />
She will be missed by all.<br />

Happy New Year to all of<br />
you. It is hard to believe we<br />
are in the year 2019. The<br />
older I get, the faster the years<br />
fly by. When you are reading<br />
this month’s Beacon, I will<br />
have had my tree taken down,<br />
and all of my decorations will<br />
have been put away for the<br />
next Christmas. Now I will<br />
be waiting for Spring.<br />
Dec. 14 was my last day<br />
working for Dearborn County<br />
Government I had been there<br />
for twenty-one years. I will<br />
especially miss helping Mike<br />
in the Veterans office. The<br />
veterans were always appreciative<br />
of my setting up their<br />
rides to the VA Hospital. I am<br />
taking a couple of weeks off<br />
before I decide if I want to go<br />
back to work full time or just<br />
January/ February in Dearborn County, Southeast Indiana...the Perfect Place to Play!<br />
volunteer. Right now, my husband<br />
is getting into my space<br />
in the kitchen, so we will see<br />
what happens.<br />
We all need to say<br />
lots of prayers for and wish<br />
a speedy recovery for Jason<br />
Cox. Jason had an accident<br />
on one of his job sites a<br />
couple of months ago. The<br />
Coxs are a strong family and<br />
will make it through this<br />
tough time. They have a lot of<br />
support from their family and<br />
their church.<br />
It’s the beginning of a new<br />
year and wouldn’t it be nice<br />
if all of the Beacon readers<br />
would do a random act of<br />
kindness?<br />
Stay safe. The winter snows<br />
will be coming soon.<br />
Editor’s Note- What a<br />
GREAT idea! Please email<br />
Gloria or me and share what<br />
random acts of kindness you<br />
did or received.<br />
