Kahoka Gazette-Herald August 1938
Kahoka Gazette-Herald, August

The Keystone gathering at Rand Park, Keokuk was an overflow success. The women 
went on the old theory that to please the men you must have a variety and 
plenty to eat- it was there. Seven different states were represented and as 
the requirements for clothing were not extensively heavy that suited all. The 
beautiful park and surrounding trees the Keokuk citizens furnished were 
appreciated. Chars. Dienst, assistant state Superintendent of schools from 
Lincoln, Nebr., born, reared and educated in the Keystone school house and 
Columbia, Mo. And a classmate of Bennett Champ Clark, was master of 
ceremonies. Some women strongly objected to speech making because it 
interfered with their chatter and that was the only incident that put a check 
on one of the most successful gathering we ever attended. The 3rd Sunday in 
August for next year was set for the next meeting and extending the territory 
to the neighboring districts and have as East Clark County Old Settlers of 
Kahoka can not afford such luxuries in these latter days. All we ask for is 
another as successful gathering and joyful day as we some 400 consiere this 
one. Chas. Dienst made it plain that he would be there and why cannot others 
near attend.
