The Overmyer family, of Clarkston, joins together in a Bible study around the table in their Clarkston home in this photo published in the March 25, 1973, Lewiston Tribune. From left are, David, 16; Deborah, 15; Paul Overmyer; Michael, 9; and Betty Overmyer. The acompanying story by reporter Bob Barrows describes the family’s loss several months before of their previous Clarkston home in a fire. The family all had been at a church service the night of the fire and so none were injured. Area church congregations donated items to replace what had been lost and they stayed with a family member until securing their new home.
