Nellie's Scottish Tea, November 23, 2008
The Granite Falls Historical Society had its Christmas event at the
Volstead House to honor Mrs. Volstead, nee Nellie Gilruth.  She was born
in Scotland and immigrated at age 15.  Guests were members of the
Granite Falls Historical Society.  Board members each decorated a table
and Christmas tree.  Guest speaker, Helen Merrill, spoke of her early
memories of Andrew J. Volstead.  She lived at the Volstead house as a
child when he lived next door and they became friends.  A festive
afternoon was enjoyed by all!
