City Notes and Social Snippets From Scranton
A Scranton evening notes a crowd at the Academy of Music for The Ol Momestedd, a lone drunk in the station house, and a Rescue Mission dinner on Franklin Avenue. John Hoyle O’Reilly heads a Young Men’s Institute New Year smoker on Lackawanna Avenue. Deed-holder Charles Heuster presented pocketbooks and a fountain pen to his employer. Post office hours and services are listed, with deliveries paused for the day. Elm Park church Sunday school praises their teacher with a fine banquet lamp. Mrs. Fred Hoffman of 215 Einden Street enters Lackawanna Hospital after giving birth to a baby girl. A list of recent marriages and divorces, fire alarm box changes, and court actions fill the rest of the town items.
