The Widden Gem Theatrical at Bickearman's Hall
A Tuesday evening show at Bickearman's Hall for St Marys school library featured the play Hidden Wiseman set in Rome. The performance praised by the crowd for strong acting and clear enunciation by a cast of seven to fourteen year olds. The afterpiece Eyes and Nose drew laughter, and the Light Guard Band provided popular music during a lengthy event amid extreme cold. William Eddy, a prominent local merchant born in Wilmington Vermont in 1881, died suddenly at 61 in Hennepin Putnam. He helped found O. & W. Eddy with his father Cheater Eddy in 1864 and left a wife Elizabeth Casson and four children. The funeral was largely attended in frigid weather, with many local relatives present.
