Edna was member of the Ladies Aid Society in Bowne Center, Michigan, which she references in this entry. The Ladies Aid Hall (pictured left in current day -- restored and relocated, is now a museum), was located across the street from the Johnson family farm adjacent to the Methodist Church.
Alice was one of Edna's daughters. She and her husband Stanley were living in Detroit at this time and came home to Bowne Center for a visit. They were staying with Aunt Jen Pardee. Jen is the sister of Henry (Edna's husband and my great grandfather).
Alex and Edwina were good friends of Edna and Henry.
Ward Boulard and family were also from Bowne Center. Their farm featured a round barn, which still stands today (pictured left).
