Mr. and Mrs? Hamp Burke had
as their houseguests last Thurs-

and Mrs. Oscar Jackson and two
daughters, Karen age 11 and Deb-
ra, 6, of Sylacouga, Alabama.
The Jacksons made their home
in Elgin with Mr. and Mrs. Burke

back since that time and they all
had a wonderful reunion and vis-
it. They drove over to Austin to
show Karen the State Capitol

tour to other historic and scenic

Many Elgin folks will remem-
ber Karen as the lovely little 17
month-old titian haired girl whom
Mrs. Burke looked after as her
own during the war days while
her mother, a registered nurse,
was employed at Fleming Hospi-
tal and as a civilian nurse at
Camp Swift.

Phillip Swanberg
Fetes Sister
With Party
Phillip Swanberg was host for
a party Saturday given in honor ,
of his sister, Mrs. Hulda Carlson, I
of Chicago, Ill., who was his
houseguest.
Guests present were Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Rolf, Mr. and Mrs. Carl
iSwenson, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley
Morell, Mrs. Edith Berg and bro-
ther, Paul, Mr. and Mrs. New-1
strom and daughter, and Axel An-
derson.
A Swedish smorgasbord held a
delicious choice of favorite deli-
cacies to which , guests served
themselves and enjoyed with cof-
fee.
For many years Mrs. Carlson
and her two bachelor brothers had
lost contact with each other and
having heard the Wild West, gun-
totin’ stories of Texas up. in the'
‘windy’ City of Chicago she and
her husband pondered over the
risks involved in a trip to Elgin,
but decided that if both came they
could cope with the situation. Ar-
riving, they were Welcomed by
the many friends of their brothers
and found the ‘tall tales’ about
Texas were well exaggerated and
that the most law abiding and
friendly folk make up its citizen-
ship.
Since that first venture. several 1
years ago, Mrs. Carlson, how a!
widow, comes down to Texas once
a year, and sometimes twice, to
see the good friends .she .has made
in and around Elgin and her visits
are always the inspiration for so-
cial gatherings to welcome her
anew to the Lone Star State.
