Can't I Have a Nervous Breakdown in Private Around Here?

From "Local Drifts," Hobart Gazette, Oct. 22, 1920.

I really wish I knew whether the Dorman family called up the Gazette office to impart that bit of information, or whether the editor found it out through local gossip and decided to plaster it on the front page because, well, it's news, isn't it?

If your curiosity was piqued by that announcement in the right-hand column about the parking ordinance published elsewhere, you can read some of its text on this page:



The same page informs us that Gust Deering, thus far best known for changing his mind, has changed it yet again. Gust would move with his family into their Joryville home in early December. The 1930 census shows them living on Linda Street, and Gust working in a steel mill.
