Margaret Conley Honored
About 3o friends, neighbors and relatives toasted Margaret Conley a 50 year resident of Huntley, before she moves to St. Paul, Minn. She received an orchid corsage, a billfold and other gifts from friends whom she's known since her 4 children were growing up; from friends who helped with when her husband, Earl, passed away; and friends who have supported her decision to sell her home and relocate closer to her family members. She thanked Dorothy Taylor and Helen Rehberg for planning the friendly farewell party.
