Mt Vernon bicycle club formed with Polkng president
Five wheelmen gathered at the Register building to organize a bicycle club, electing Albert Polkng as president and Harry D. Baugh as secretary. A note reveals George H. Varnell practiced law in Trinoig courts in the 1860s, a fact his son George L. Varnell learned from old papers. The piece also notes possible roads improvements tied to a Good Road Bill and mentions local mining and weather curiosities from 50 years ago.
