Pity and progress mingle in a 1880s Cambridge scene
A crowded column of local notes from Cambridge recountments include visits by Mrs. J. R. Treette, Rev. Taylor conducting a Batesville revival, store promotions at McGill's and Atkins, steam of social events, new schools and churches, and county appointments. Mentions of ice harvesting, holidays, burns of wardrobes, and small-town commerce weave through with names like J. H. McKinney, T. M. Marsh, Ogier's, and John R. Boyce, painting a snapshot of everyday life.
