REHOBORTH BEACH HISTORY
1882 THRU 1897
WHEN MOSQUOTOES PLAYED,
FRISKED AND FROLOICKED
Rehoboth Sunday Star,
Daily Gazette , August 20, 1882:
Since our last news a
week ago the trials and trouble has been mosquitoes, taking
the breeze from mother
ocean in piece. The sound of the hum of the peasky insect
early every morning,
throughout the day, the stinginging of it's bites, was the last
note
which lulled a weary one
to rest.
Hundered of guests left on
this account . “Smothers” , beach bond fires and netting
were common everywhere.
“Hope” kept many here and that hope came yesterday mornning
troughout the day when a
ocean breeze came and the mosquitoes left.
