LAHARPE — When Duwayne and Debbie Bearden were mingling with diners at LaHarpe’s community Thanksgiving meal, they noticed a recurring topic.

“Do you live next door to me?” one diner asked another.

“I think I do,” the other responded. “You look familiar.”

Turns out, the pair had lived just down the street from each other, Debbie Bearden noted, and never realized it.

It’s not uncommon.

“We have folks who have lived in LaHarpe for years, but there’s a large number of people who haven’t been in town very long,” Debbie Bearden said. “People just don’t get much of an opportunity to get to know each other.”
