Oddities and notices from distant towns and events
A whirlwind of items from 19th century notes: a Franklin Iowa washerwoman with living children suggests local color, Indianapolis marriage recalled from 1877, London middle classes contrasted with New York elites, Amsterdam set for an 1883 international expo, Philadelphia celebrating Willing Power’s landing, Paris real estate gains, and a Parnell avondale ploughing match drawing thousands. Channel Tunnel progress and a Virginia schoolgirl witty in court, a sixty five-year-old Illinois juror-walker, gloves mostly from Fulton County’s Little Lawns, Times predicts coal exports to Europe rising, Amos Hinton aged 10 in Caswell NC, and a Augusta VA farmer driven to lunacy by hidden mineral dreams.
