Front Porch: Oso chapel seeks stories for centennial celebration

Chapel seeks stories

The Oso Community Chapel will celebrate its centennial Sept. 19. The congregation is looking for pictures and stories from families who have been involved with the chapel in that time. That includes people whose parents or grandparents worshipped there. Pictures and stories also are sought regarding the centennial of the Mt. Wheeler Grange in Oso.
