All the other news on this page is much more pleasant, including an ice-cream social at the home of Arthur and Mary Strong, south of Deep River; and in Crown Point, a party for Elmer Bullock's 18th birthday.
In the left-hand column we find notices of an upcoming show based on the popular comic strip, The Gumps. The fact that it would be held under a "big rainproof tent" is alarming to those of us who know what waterproofed tents could do when they caught fire. But no reports of disaster came out of "Henpecked Andy" in this case.

Poor Harold. His year of death is 1921 (Salem Cem. in Hebron). I can't imagine how dire a diagnosis of any neuro disease must have been back then! Now he might have survived. Makes me wonder if he had meningitis, or a tumor, and how the docs back then decided it was an abscess ??
Yes, we shall see if this is the beginning of the end.
I have absolutely no clue how they would diagnose an abscess of the brain back then.
