Diphtheria closes Iona and Lebanon area schools
The state diphtheria outbreak led to the closure of two schools at Iona two miles from Lebanon and the United Brethren church. Other notes include pension grants to Mrs. Hannah Cooper of Carlisle, record fish catches by John Probst, large crop yields from P. L. Bergerstock, pheasants released near Myerstown, and a Steelton man who has never shaved.
