October 27, 1933 Alleged whiskey, said to have been buried in a freshly dug pit beneath the floor of the barn, was seized late Friday by county detectives in a raid on the farm house of George WEIGAND, 33, Perkiomenville R.D. WEIGAND, whom detectives charged with selling whiskey at 25 cents a pint, was held for court by Magistrate Lloyd KEMMERER, of Spring Mount. The defendant was released on $1,000 bail. The raid was made by County Detectives James GLEASON, Charles EILER, George BENNETT and Irwin ANDERSON. A gallon of whiskey was found in the house, the sleuths said, and two five-gallon jugs, filled with the same stuff, was located in the hole under the barn floor. October 29, 1943 T/Sgt. Ira BARDMAN, Green Lane flier reported missing after a Flying Fortress raid over Europe September 16 was still unreported this week, according to information from his parents, although at least two members of the crew of his plane are known definitely to be prisoners of the German government. The flier's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. BARDMAN, Green Lane, were informed of this in a letter received this week from Mrs. Lawrence WOLFF, Palos Verdes, Calif., mother of Lt. Robert H. WOLFF, pilot of the Fortress of whose crew BARDMAN was a member on the ill-fated raid. October 31, 1963 The firm of A.L. ALLEM and Son, a meat and grocery business with a background dating back to 1897, will discontinue operations at 359 Main street, Red Hill, at 6 p.m. Saturday. Originally purely a butchering and delivery route, the grocery business was added under the ALLEM ownership which began in 1931. Conversely, the meat delivery phase went out of existence since then - about six years ago. Arthur L. ALLEM and his wife, Mary (HELLERICK) ALLEM, came to Red Hill from Perkasie and bought the meat business from Harry SWEISFORD. Soon thereafter a small section of the dwelling was converted into a store and 12 years ago an enlarged area, fronting along the pavement, was erected.
