The members of the United Methodist Church, Thorp, surprised Mrs. Chester Johnson on her 80th birthday, August 12, 1973, with a dinner and party in the church dining room after the morning service. A prayer, written by Lucretia Paff, was read by Reverend Fuller before the dinner, and after dinner Mr. C. Guell related some of the events in Minnie’s life, and on behalf of the congregation thanked her for the many services in the church.
