Evelyn, I graduated early part of 1944. Has your Dad attended any reunions? Margaret Schmitt Hinz [email protected] wrote: In doing a little research, I found an article in the November 26, 1893 New York Times that describes children playing vagabonds and going door to door begging in Brooklyn and New England as a extension of an ancient tradition of the poor and servants going to the houses of the wealthy to beg for things for their own Thanksgiving feasts. So the custom of begging on the holiday goes back to at least the 1856 date of the article that the Times was citing in 1893 as the source of the information. The story itself quotes a little girl from Brooklyn as being proud of having a mask with two noses in it to wear, and that she and other little girls had made costumes to wear for begging on the holiday. I can remember by Dad, Arthur McHugh, talking about going begging in old clothes on Thanksgiving in Jersey City. He was born in 1929, (and graduated Snyder in Spring 1947), so the custom was still around at least as late as the 1930's and early 1940's. And for anyone interested, I have posted before that I have my dad's Snyder yearbooks from the mid-forties, if anyone need a look up. Me, I'm getting dressed up as a tired suburban Mom for Halloween....and all I do on Thanksgiving is eat! =epm= Ask not why the rose has thorns.

Thanks for the information. It may well be the family but John would have to be a grandson. I'm working on Julia Driscoll who married a John Mulhearn who died in 1918 they lived at 139 Maple. They had several sons all were tinsmiths up till 1920 when the family lived on Grand. Didn't find the sons after 1920 so it is possible one of them was the father of that John.

I asked my Dad last night (he is a very young and spry 78 years old) and he said, sure, when he was a child, living in North Bergen, they would get up on Thanksgiving Day and dress up like hobos with clothes they had around the house -- and go door to door and get fruit, nuts, etc.
