Old Deed of 190 Acres Becomes Relic in Lancaster County
George W. Palmer of the Santa Fe point shop treasures an ancient deed to 190 acres in Lancaster county. The parchment, brown and worn, dates back to old magistrate records and has passed through generations. Palmer values relics highly and notes a wood sample said to be from a tree once tied to George Washington. There is a lay mention of Homer Hall’s note about a severe cold and a Dr King’s New Discovery for coughs. This summary preserves the main historical artifact while reflecting the fragmentary local notices surrounding it.
