Neighbors Show Kindness to Woman in Hospital for the 7th time in 14 months

It's bad enough to have to go to the hospital for the seventh time in 24 months, but when you receive notice to move from your house at the same time, it's almost to much.
That's what happened to Mrs. Charles Holder. She and her husband resided on a farm three miles south of Frazer. Two months ago they received notice to move.
Two weeks later, before they had a place to move or had anything packed, Mrs. Holder had to return to Missouri Methodist Hospital.
Twenty-one friendly neighbors rallied to her side. They packed her things and helped in the moving to the Forrest Waters farm, two and one half miles from their former home. Then they cleaned the new house throughly, hung new paper on the walls and unpacked everything in readiness for the patients's return from the hospital.
Mrs. Holder is grateful to her kind friends who have not only saved her much work, but also made her stay in the hospital free from worry and care.
