Open Air Pageant Proposed For Fourth Of July In Long Branch
A letter to the Long Branch press proposes a safe, simple Fourth of July celebration for 1913 featuring an open air pageant in Washington Park with veterans, flags, and period costumes. Suggestions include blue ribbons, school dramatizations, and locally composed music, avoiding prize awards. The piece highlights notable local women business leaders Mrs Pauline Wert and Mrs Rose M Harris, and honors Mrs Sarah A Reed for continued service with Woman's Relief Corps. It also reviews Captain Edwin Field a Red Bank surgeon and Civil War veteran renowned for military leadership and rifle team participation in Monmouth county.
