100 Years Ago

Herald of July 21, 1922

A very enjoyable picnic was spent by the clerks and former clerks along with their Manager, A. D. Mingle of the Roaring Spring Department Store, when they motored to Bland’s Park near Tyrone where they partook of a sumptuous dinner. “Babe” Price was awarded first prize for eating the most chicken, but he had some close competition.

Joseph Snyder Wareham, little son of R. S. Snyder and Thelma Stock Wareham, died at home in Snake Spring Valley from cholera infantum. The child was aged 9 month and 5 days. He was the second child of Mrs. and Mrs. Wareham, the first having died while very young.

Hipple’s Cave, located on the farm owned by Harry Stonerook, was being improved for the purpose of holding picnics and other public gatherings. The cave was wired with electric lights allowing those who wished to explore the cave to do so without an old-fashioned torch.
