Holy Humor
Dancing at Wilson’s Mill PondSeveral weeks ago I wrote about the community of Oaky and the Mill Pond of the Wilson family. I found documentation of the dance hall in the 1930s, and some remember hearing of its operation in the 1920s but it is unknown exactly how long it operated. It is remarkable that in the depression the advertisements for admission were as high as 72 cents for men with females admitted for free.
