Norwalk Area Swindle and Rural Hard Times in 1876
A Clarksfield farmer was swindled by a man claiming to be a Wakeman painter who borrowed his buggy and vanished toward Norwalk. Heat and storms hit area crops, a barrow of trouble at Lais Grove left Wells badly cut, and a railroad worker Sawhill suffered a leg injury while moving lumber. An editorial calls out noise and Sunday smoking near Main Street.
