    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA May 10, 1913 The milk delivery team of Howard BEALER, of near East Greenville, in charge of Mr. ALBITZ, was wrecked on Monday forenoon in East Greenville, when the horse tore the hitching strap while tied in front of the Kochel House and darted down the turnpike. The animal got scared at a passing automobile and started off at break-neck speed until the wagon collided with the hitching post in front of A.W. DIMMIG's dwelling. At this point, milkman SCHWENK, of Red Hill, caught the animal by the nose, for the bridle was left at the hitching post at the Kochel House, and stopped it. The turnpike was covered with milk, butter, eggs and empty cans and the hot sun soon broiled omelet of the combination. The wagon and harness were badly damaged. May 11, 1923 The disappearence of the five-year-old son of Mrs. Winfield SCHATZ, of Sumneytown, on Saturday, caused considerable worry and the police department was searching Allentown for the lost boy. Mrs. SCHATZ, her son and George SCHATZ and family, all of Sumneytown, had gone to Allentown to do some shopping. While in one of the stores, the boy disappeared. The police department was notified and some time later the missing child was located in Bethlehem. In the store, he had become separated from his mother and in some manner wandered to the street and was picked up by a stranger, who took him along to Bethlehem.
