The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, April 1, 1909

On the 28th of March occurred the 74th anniversary of MRS. M.J. MOLESWORTH,
who makes her home with her daughter, MRS. E. LOIS DAWSON, near Russell, and
unbeknown to her, her children had worked up a card shower. The cards came
bearing all kinds of congratulatory messages from old and young; far and
near until 277 had been received -- and still they are coming. If the
postal department isn't blocked no telling how many may come yet. They came
from twelve different states. She is very grateful for these kind
remembrances. Several letters came with cards from friends she had almost
forgotten -- didn't know where they were. This was surely a renewal of old
acquaintanceship.
