HOLLYVILLE NEWS 1914
How about spending a few
days back in 1914 at Hollyville with some news items
out of the Friday, March
20, 1914 “Delaware Pilot” newspaper.
First the Unity Methodist
Episcopal Church wants you to stop in Sunday at 10:30 to hear
G. R. Ellis expound the
gospel which may be the last opportunity you have. Also attend
Sunday School at 9:30 that
same morning.
The 'groundhogs' allotted
time to show himself expired last Monday and we are happy to
the know the spring birds
will be singing their merry tunes very soon as is custom.
A good heavy snow last week
furnished merriment for our people, but not so close to April
for some farmers trying to
work their grounds for strawberries, early grain crops and gardens.
Mr & Mrs George Hurdle
are now at home with Jesse Joseph and it always pleases us to
have desirable people
settle down in our community. We learn that George has traded
his horse for one of more value.
We give thanks to our mail
carrier for he never misses a trip and has been on the job five years
with the best service.
We take notice of our up to
date ladies who have taken the fad of horse back riding and are
often seen in riding
habits.
It is with sorrow we have
lost one of our neighbors, Wrixham McIlvaine, a resident of
many years with great
respect of the citizens far and near.
Miss Mary Prettyman
visited her sister, Mrs John Joseph, Friday and Saturday.
Please do not forget the
festival at the 'American Mechanics Hall'. Come out to help the
school cause as we are sure
the students will feel more like studying if the surroundings
are made more pleasant.
