Young Printer Surprised By Birthday Party In Ordway Street
Albert Leonhardt, aged nineteen, celebrated with a surprise party thrown by 50 to 75 friends at his Ordway street home. The crowd waited on the veranda and inside amid flowers and lanterns, presenting him a ruby net ring and a gold watch and chain. Frank Glenn spoke as the gifts were given, and Albert recovered from the shock to speak briefly. The party included lawn games, ice cream, cake, fruit, and dancing, with prizes awarded to Mrs. Schumeyer, Chas. Long, William Weehns, and John Hoffman.
