South Sudbury Notes On Local Life And Changes
Mrs George Moore enjoyed a call from her daughter Mrs Taylor the last of the week. Mr Borden plans a large water tank and other improvements are under way. Frost caused damage in the area. W L Stone and son ship fruit and vegetables to Boston Market for themselves and others. Selectman Frank W Goodnow attended the funeral of his aunt Mrs Nellie Wheeler in Lowell. She was the widow of Abel Wheeler longtime assessor. Nelson Howe bought the Hanley buildings to salvage timber for new work, removing a near century old landmark. Abbott S Rogers visited Marblehead. Frank B Tulis painted Mrs John B Good now’s house, occupied by Philip Chinn. Carleton Ellins of Tufts, badly injured, seeks a Boston specialist to explain lingering leg trouble. Cordova described as lively in G Bogue Luffmann’s Quiet Days in Spain, where a market scene shows a boy with a big apron offering half a kid for a peseta, and a pompous man questioning if half a bull is worth tenpence.
