Reunion party ends in bizarre flypaper tale
A May 15 1910 note from Kickersville describes a family reunion at Mr and Mrs Got larb Switchbaum with four daughters two in laws and two proposed sons in law and three grandchildren. Young men working at a mountain sawmill suffer itchiness and strange insects after bees, lice and other creatures appear. They sleep on the shanty floor then wake to itchy skin and sticky flypaper attempts before returning home.
