Hume Community News

George and Connie Wehar spent the weekend with their son and family, Jamie and Tami Wehar of Cairo, MO. On Friday they were in Quincy, IL watching their granddaughter Alex play softball, afterwards they enjoyed taking her out to eat. Alex attends John Wood College. On Saturday there were in Kirksville, MO to watch Hannah play softball. Hannah attends Truman in Kirksville. They were returned home on Sunday evening.

The Hume/Rich Hill Alumni Game will be on Saturday, May 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rich Hill gym. We encourage all alumni to come out and play. There will be a concession stand and a silent auction. They are still accepting donations for the Silent Auction; you can leave them at the Bank in Hume with Sherry or at the Rich Hill School with Kelly Gayman. All proceeds go to Angie Cannon Nicholas and her family. Angie recently underwent breast cancer surgery. So all you alumni come out and play as these two communities come together to support Team Angie!

The community of Hume is very thankful that on Sunday evening we were spared. A huge crowd of people took refuge at the Methodist Church, along with others seeking shelter in neighbor’s basements and their homes. As some watched and all I am sure were praying the tornado shifted missing Hume. We are also extremely thankful for all of those who called to check on us and were coming to our aid in Hume from other towns. As one person stated it was a wonderful feeling to drive into town the next day and see everything in place and all the people we love going about the daily routine. Our God is truly and awesome God!











I want to also praise the Prescott Countryview Nursing Home staff and others who helped keep the residents safe. You did an awesome job! Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were affected by the tornados on Sunday.
