“Hardships and
times" says Carrie Lou
Hendrix is what makes life
worth living Carrie and
Hoss were married in Mt.
Vernon in 1928 and they’ve
been living together and
working with people ever
since. Carrie says, "We’ve
loved every minute of it."
Carrie and Hoss are
familiar faces around Mt.
Vernon. You can always find
Carrie at Rutherford Drug
and Hoss at Stinson Brothers
station. They've made many
friends over the years and
recently on their 50th
wedding anniversary over
200 friends came to help
them celebrate.
We at Lowry's send best
wishes to Carrie and Hoss.
They’re special to us and to
Mt. Vernon. It wouldn’t be
the same without them
Love.

P.S. Carrie, is that refriger-
ator you bought from
Lowry’s 35 years ago really
