Christmas at West Overton.

74 Christmas at West Overton.

On the night before mother + J.F.O. would place plates on the living room table, and would find them on Xmas morning heaped with fancy cakes, dried cherries + candies! Also, on the night before, mother would place a plate of oats on the basement porch bench, and on Xmas morning the plate would be empty but one-half dollar would be there!

No gifts. No Christmas tree. They would attend Christmas service at the Mennonite Church at Alverton and have a special Xmas dinner at

75home after the Service.
