Harsh January Cold Grips New Holland Area with Snow
The Clarion reports the coldest weather in twenty years with about a foot of snow on the ground and temperatures down to 12 below zero near New Holland. Ice harvests at Cupola Dam and Bowmansville reach twenty two inches as days of cold bring suffering, while a Lancaster and Terre Hill Railway charter is granted to shorten routes to Reading. A Kansas tale of a farmer trading his wife for a horse dealer adds oddity, and New Holland forms a Dorcas Society to aid needy families, seen as a forerunner of today’s King’s Daughters.
