Peril and Death Mark Lacon News and Local Intents
The town records multiple deaths including Charles Reddan and John Smith with apoplexy or paralysis after long illnesses. A temperance event featuring John H. Hecter drew a large crowd but failed to sway license voters. A fire or power outage left the town in darkness while infrastructure and industry like the woolen mill and coal trade show activity. Local school reopenings, vaccination status, and a marriage of Anno Anske and Mrs T. J. Monaghan are noted.
