Common Humanity and Charley the Drayman
In a Bay-area column, readers learn of Charley McKean resisting excessive charges during a flood, sharing his small change and offering aid, while others like Moses Parmele and C. Rowe help the dispossessed. The excerpts describe widespread acts of aid, from Newport to Aurora and Lawrenceburg, and cite authorities praising common humanity amid distress. The piece also follows related anecdotes on charity, relief, and public responses to disaster.
