Van KEECK, were stopped near the Congregational church by a tramp, who asked them if they had any money. They at first denied, but catching hold of PHILBRICK, he told him to hold up, which the boy did, and ten cents being found in his pocket, the man took it. He then caught George Van KEECK and took a nickel from him, and searched his brother, who had 25 cents, but the money was in his mouth, therefore, it escaped the tramp's notice Telling the boys to move, he ran towards the river. The lads were so terrified that they could not even cry out, and did not give the alarm till it was too late to catch the mean villain. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
