When you read this column our Zanesville Lions Club Summer Festival will be over and we will be putting things away for another year.
Meanwhile things are going on as usual with Zanesville Church of God holding their Coffee Cafe every weekday morning from 7:30 to 10 a.m. All are welcome to come over to the church on Marzane Road for some fellowship with neighbors and friends.
Come on over the next few Monday evenings and watch the participants in the Centershot Program as they show off their archery skills on the lawn north of the Zanesville Church of God. Bring a lawn chair and sit a spell. The shoot begins at 6 p.m.
If you would like to know more about Zanesville history you will find the town in most all the old Allen and Wells County Histories printed from the late 1870’s to the present time. In 1976 a lot of people handed in histories of Zanesville and a book was compiled by Melba McBride Edwards and Rosemary Smuts Kumfer with Velma Harden typing it for print. It is available at all local libraries. The title is Zanesville History 1849-1976. For the past 33 years Zanesville has had a newsy column in the News-Banner at Bluffton and Huntington Tab.
Our condolences to the family, friends and classmates of Marceille (Keplinger) Shelley who passed away on July 15th at the age of 93. She was the daughter of Zanesville residents Harry and Amy Keplinger and was a 1947 graduate of East Union Center High School. She married Carl (Bill) Shelley in 1953 and they built a home in Waynedale where she spent the rest of her life. She was an avid organ and piano player from the time she was nine years old.
