Wantage Recorder, Friday, May 24, 1912: "Mr. and Mrs. Hosea J. HARDEN and family, of Quarryville, were going through Chester, N. Y., with their auto on Sunday when they met a New York party in an auto near the fountain in the village, it is at a street corner and neither of them saw the other until they appeared by the fountain. Before the autos could be stopped they collided nearly head to head. The New York man's machine was the heaviest and Mr. HARDEN's sustained the damage of a broken wheel and a number of bent rods. Luckily the speed had been cut down so that no one was hurt. A garage received Mr. HARDEN's machine for repairs and he and his family were taken to Middletown by the other party when they took the evening train for Quarryville."
