Kate’s Notes: These two articles on the Dr. J. L. Gilleland family appeared in the Pullman Herald, Pullman, Washington. If the Dr.’s name sounds familiar, it’s because we have another article in our library concerning Dr. Gilleland, when he lived in Pilot Rock, Oregon prior to the family’s move to Washington State. For more on the family roots of Dr. Gilleland, please refer to the Oregon news article of 1913.

LAWN FETE

   Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Gilleland and Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Bond gave a most delightful lawn party and dance Monday evening at the home of the former. There were between 60 and 70 guests. Games were played on the lawn and dancing was enjoyed in the house with music furnished by Miss Elaine Martin. The house and lawn were beautifully decorated with the season’s flowers and Japanese lanterns, electrically lighted, were strung on the lawn, giving a festive appearance to the beautiful home of Dr. Gilleland. The seven girls who served the refreshments were Misses Anona Clarkson, Ruth Faulkner, Grace Baird, Ethel Baird, Julia Jamison, Virginia Gilleland and Juanita Gilleland.
