Batchtown, Meppen, and Brussels had yard sales Friday and Saturday.
The Batchtown Woman’s Club had a yard sale at the Village Hall to support their projects for the year. One of these projects is providing Halloween treats and bottled water to the trick or treaters on Halloween.
The Batchtown Community is saddened by the death of Bernadine (Kirbach) Snyders age 88. She is the mother of Russell, Kevin, Rick, and Kenny Snyders, and Jeanne Friedel. Bernie was a wonderful wife and mother. She was a member of St. Barbara’s Alter Society and an excellent pianist.
We are saddened at the death of Letha (Casselton) Simon. Her children, Dennis, Bill, and Bob Simon and Joyce Fort Schneider are in our prayers. Letha was a good homemaker and wife, and worked at the St. Norbert’s Office for many years. She will be missed but not forgotten.
