Roadway scam and village notices shock readers
The Washington Star reports a scam involving Roadway, Mem, Oscar Dalrymple and two children plus Mrs George Little who were duped into tamely leaving their homes by a toknosa. Messrs Weller and Brinton and others feature in local incidents including illnesses, robberies and Easter services. Community updates list visits, moves, farming sales, school board elections, and real estate transfers across Warren, Hackettstown, Phillipsburg, and surrounding towns with several names and places mentioned in a dense, era-typical obituary and notices collage.
