Weds. 6 Sep 1893 - Port Morris - Two married men of this place, an engineer and a conductor, started out a few evenings ago with the intent of having a good time. The wife of one of these gentlemen concluded that something was not right, removed her shoes to start out to watch them. She had gone but a short distance when she heard voices and creeping nearer, saw her dear hubby and his chum hugging and kissing two ladies whose character could stand considerable whitewash. She stepped out and confronted them. A stormy scene followed which aroused the neighbors who had previously been abed and here and there could be seen a head popping from the windows to see what had caused all the trouble. We trust the lesson learned by these two men will be of profit to them especially the one who has been heard to criticise the actions of others. Weds. 4 Oct 1893 - Mrs. Matilda PIERCE, who had been riding the merry-go-round these two or three days past, was complaining of a violent headache.

She awoke having very heavy breathing such that her corset was cut off and Dr. NELDEN was called. She died some 20 minutes after his arrival. Several friends were heard to have made comments not favorable to the operation of the merry-go-round. Mrs. PIERCEs husband was blown up in the Forcite Powder explosion. She leaves a bright little daughter behind. Hope this helps someone, Cathy
