Quirky Notes from a Rural Ledger and Local Notices
A mix of short items touches on farm trespass postings by over forty North Reading farmers, petty crime in Goshen, a New York shoemaker wager, odd anecdotes about weddings and naming, population figures, a serious arm injury near Fairfield Center, and local feats like a seven-foot bald eagle. A broad snapshot of late 19th century small-town life.
