The Elm Springs News

The Linns moved their cattle to summer pasture Wednesday morning; if they’d have waited until afternoon they might have had to use motorboats to move them.

Most of the kind citizens attended either the Justin Tschetter/Mandy Wilson wedding at Chapel in the Hills or the subsequent reception in Piedmont Saturday evening. Mandy’s sister Kelli was maid of honor, and Mandy’s business partner Chrissy Elshere, in addition to fixing the bride’s hair, served as a bridesmaid. Chrissy’s daughter Camry was the flowergirl.

The kind citizens were saddened by the passing of Gladys Arneson Sunday. Gladys was a pillar of the community until moving to Belle Fourche, and she will always be remembered for her beaming smile and her spotless pickup.

On Sunday, Brett and Coral Erickson, accompanied by Madi and Steele Fuegen, visited the Larry Gravatt residence to pick up a golf cart. It seems the Gravatt golf course has fallen into disrepair.
