Through Country Lanes in the Early Eighties
Mrs Creta Squires Walker recalls a childhood journey with her father through Carlisle Lorain County on a May day. She details family homes, neighbors, churches, and local scenes from Berg to Elyria, noting post office routes, toll roads and early rural life. The piece ends with a teaser for tomorrow and a separate note on a $10 fine for honking late at night.
