Willard Beers Builds Working Model Coal Breaker
On the West Side of the city Willard Beers at Merrifield Avenue constructed a perfect working model of an anthracite coal breaker. At about 18 years old he spent a year and a half on it turning out every part on his own lathe. The six by six foot exhibit simulates a Sand Banks mine with a full mine scene, trains, gates, and moving cars. The project may soon be placed on exhibition along with a church fair in Jackson Street. The Jackson Street Baptist Ladies Aid held a successful fair and festival raising funds to clear church debt. The report lists fair tables and organizers. Death of Mrs Patrick McNamara on Price Street, aged about 44, widow of a husband and eleven children. Funeral at 2:30 pm at Hyde Park Catholic cemetery. Local notices include a barber shop opening, a dry goods move, a concert and maple sugar social, lodge meeting, eggs supper and social, Lenten services, and church services for St. David’s on Jackson Street with a mite chest program for children. West Side Business Directory items promote local services and shops.
