HE ASKED IT
Countryfolk Dance
Honors Man Dead
For 23 Years
WEST MINOT. Me . Dee. 20. on
— Countryfolk will make merry
tonight at the birthday ball of a
man dead for 23 years.
The acene: West Minot’s tiny
Grange Hall. The program: Mod-
ern dances and the old-fashioned
square dances beloved by the
"ghost host"—Jairus “Jerry” Hil-
born.
Jerry would have been 98 today.
Long a friend, counsellor and bene-
factor of the village youth, he left
a modest sum for a dance each
year until he would have been 100.
He attached but one condition-
al the height of the festivities
there must be a moment of silence
in tribute to Jerry. And should
this silence be broken, the dances
would end.
The money Jerry left doesn’t
meet all the expenses But his
white haired widow, Bertha, now
76. takes care of the balance. And
should she die in the meantime,
she has arranged for the dances
to continue through 1951. as Jerry
wished.
