Brother Tony Atkins reports a packed house for Easter sunrise services at New Edinburg 1st Baptist Church.

Easter lunch guests at the home of Bruce and Wendy Grice and Kennedy Pruitt were Joan McCallister of Kingsland, Mitchell Grice of Fordyce, Keith and Melody Grice, Austin, Braydon, Grant & Gracyn of New Edinburg, Bill and Ouita Jarrett of New Edinburg, Randy, Suzanne and Jared Wagnon of New Edinburg, Amy Offutt, Cameron, Megan and Jonathan of White Hall, Coy and Jane Coats of Fordyce, Brandy and Jacob Wolfe and John Coats of Warren. 

I heard a rumor today that there was a man here in New Edinburg who raised 40 acres of turnips and greens for the needy during the Great Despression. Can anyone tell me who this gentleman was, because I'd like to know.
