Insect Pest Drives Buckingham Family From Home
A large willow tree near Ger nard Transell's Buckingham Township house became infested with a tiny black louse. The pests entered through windows and doors, staining linen and wood with a reddish black hue and emitting a foul odor. After his wife cried in fear, Transell cut the tree at night, moving it seventy five yards from the house, ending the threat. The incident drew surprised comments from neighbors. The issue was followed by notes on vocal culture in America, arguing that top pupils can train successfully in the United States rather than abroad.
