Gesner Speaks At Newtown Men’s Meeting
The October meeting of the Men’s club at Parker House featured Rev. Dr. Richmond H. Gesner substituting for the scheduled speaker and recounting his 1908 Pan Anglian congress trip. He described London areas, the Prince of Wales reception, and meeting Countess Lascallea as a thirteen year old. The talk pleased attendees despite late changes. Latter items note funeral services for Mrs. Lillian A. Russell and Mrs. Margaret Lorenz, and a sign mischief on Main Street removing the Danbury direction. Miss Helen Roach visits Newtown, and the board of assessors schedules sworn lists at the town clerk’s office.
