Family Celebrates 50th Wedding Anniversary and a Wedding on the Same Day

Ron and Judy Conner were married 50 years ago on October 14, 1962. The ceremony was at the Lovilia Methodist Church with Linda Weldon as maid of honor and best man was Ed Weldon.  Ed is Judy’s brother and Linda is his wife.

Ron and Judy were blessed with three daughters.  Lisa who is married to Steve Gilkerson  has three children:  Justin, Alyssa, and Hannah,  and  lives in Bussey, Iowa. Angie has two sons:  Colby and Kile.  Angie is  living in Albia, Iowa.  Melanie is married to Kurt Teare and has two children:  Madison and Maysa, and they make their home in Pella, Iowa.

To make the day extra special, Angie chose that day this year for her wedding to Jim Henderson.  A beautiful blessing on Ron and Judy’s 50 years of marriage was included in the wedding celebration.

In addition, their first grandchild, Justin Gilkerson, celebrated his birthday on this date.

Best wishes to the whole family for a day so special in so many ways!

October 19, 2012 Post Office Future Meeting

At 2:30pm a public meeting was held at the post office to discuss changes in service. Several men and women were in attendance to hear the report and ask questions.

478 surveys were mailed to postal patrons and 148 responded. Of those answering, 82% wanted to keep the post office in Lovilia open.

No changes will be made until after the first of the year as they do not make changes during the busy holiday mail season.  Changes could take effect in Jan. or later.  New hours will be 8am-noon or near that time period.  The window to buy stamps , etc. will be open that entire time and the clerk will also be putting up the mail into the boxes then too.

We will be notified 30 days before the change in hours goes into effect.

Mail will continue to be picked up from the blue box out front of the office everyday but Sunday at 4pm and mailed out.

A new box will be placed in the lobby to hold packages that are too large for the letter boxes and a key will be provided so persons can get their package even when the clerk is gone.
