Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 5, 1904 MUST REPAIR TURNPIKE At last the citizens of Lower Milford township and the traveling public have the assurance of getting the Lehigh and Berks turnpike repaired as well as the other roads. The constable W.H. HEIL this week condemned the turnpike and reported one of the supervisors to the Lehigh county court. The order of the Court is that the Lehigh and Berks as well as the Millerstown and Shimersville turnpike companies must repair the roads and comply with the requirements of their charter as prescribed therein from one end of said pike to the other, within sixty days. The supervisor was also instructed to repair the road leading from Shimersville to Vera Cruz, within five days. This certainly is a step in the right direction from the roads in this vicinity were in an awful condition. And furthmore the turnpike road companies were collecting tolls right along. There are loose stones lying in the roads varying in size from a hen's egg to a fist.

This building was used until 1875, when the present building was erected. Rev. N.F. SCHMIDT is serving the Lutheran and Rev. W.B. WERNER is serving the Reformed charge. Both ministers reside in Schwenksville. HORSE BROKE LEG AND HAD TO BE KILLED Frank H. FOX, of Skippack, lost a horse in a peculiar manner.
