Moving of the Malvern Court House in a Rural Tale
A reminiscence by J. B. Sawyers celebrates the moving of the old Glenwood court house to Malvern. The narrative blends humor and local color as townsfolk hear chiming bells, bands, and crowds, while the brick building allegedly travels eleven miles and inspires wide spectacle and streetcar collisions. The tale preserves a prideful, comic view of a notable local event.
