Rozar honored with a reception at FBC By PAULINE LEWIS Staff Writer In honor of her mother's 90th year, Mrs. Clint (Frances) Strouse gave a reception for her mother, Mrs. J. Frank (Exie) Rozar, at Perry First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, June 19. Co-hostesses were Sandy Brooks Stokes and Margilu Watts Mims, 1956 Perry High School classmates of Mrs. Strouse, the former Frances Rozar. Many friends and former fellow church members at tended. On Monday afternoon, members of the Eula Riley Sunday School Class met at the home of Mrs. Evora McGuire to enjoy a social hour with Mrs. Rozar, a former member of their class. Mrs. Rozar and her daughter reside in Oregon, 111., and both are former residents of Perry. Mr. J. Frank Rozar, their husband and fa ther, and former Houston County Commissioner, is the person for whom the J. Frank Rozar Park in Perry is named. The Rozars moved to Perry in 1939 and lived here five years at the Beckham's Starbuck Farm before moving to Tallahassee, Fla. After three years, they came back to Malatchee Farm outside Perry in 1948. Following Mr. Rozar's death, Mrs. Rozar continued to reside in Perry until 1992 when she moved near the residence of Frances and her family, which includes two daughters, Pam and Cindy Puckett. Mrs. Rozar is a subscriber to the Houston Times-Journal and tries to "keep up with the news from Perry." She said that she "just can't say enough good things about Perry. Middle Georgia is the best place to live." Members of the Willing Workers Sunday School Class have sent a card to her every week since she moved away in 1992. She is con stantly amazed at their thoughtfulness and these cards keep her from feeling so lonely in surroundings away from her Perry "home". She and Frances are "thrilled, and filled with awe, about the park and the lovely building at Rozar Park" and hope that "their family can be represented at the dedication service." While in Georgia, Mrs. Rozar, Frances and her husband, Clint, will travel to Eastman to visit Mr. Rozar's relatives and his gravesite. They will then go to Bremen for her Gamer Family Reunion and return to Illinois afterward.
