Spirit of Democracy December 15, 1898 Sardis George Thompson is having a fine residence erected on Mound street which will be a great improvement to our town. Mr. and Mrs. James Williamson have moved to Elwood, Pa. Thus we have lost another good family. The river is frozen over. If it continues freezing for several nights it will make good skating. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Titus of Titusville are the guests of George Titus and family for a month. Mr. John Dally of Witten was the guest of his sister Mrs. Laura Hofer Sunday. Earl Lemmon, the photographer, has located here. We wish him success. Clifford Bowen of St. Mary's visited friends here the fore part of the week. Miss Emma Stoehr, who has been sick for quite a while, has recovered. Mrs. Jacob Wohnhas is the guest of Wheeling relatives this week. Edward Martin and Longwell are at home again. transcribed by Sara Richardson Kelly re: Richardson, Suter, Griffith, Nesbitt, Deiter
