Van Wyck Portrait of a Quiet Lancaster County Village
A detailed write up of Van Wyck in northern Lancaster County near the GC ON railroad and Twelve Mile Creek describes rolling hills, parsonage church and school, the homes of local merchants J M Yoder and McManus & Co, J A Hyatt’s mill and store, and a scenic creek with a substantial bridge. The narrative invites fishing and boat riding amid grape and jasmine canopies, noting creeks rising during Catawba freshets and the village life around a low valley setting in a picturesque rural scene.

A destructive storm swept Lancaster Center with strong winds and heavy rain. Sheriff J B Hunter reports losses near $2,500, while G B Bartran and associates near $1,000 to $1,200. Cotton mill property and multiple residences suffered major damage as fences toppled, chimneys fell, and buildings were leveled or moved from foundations.
