From: The Webster Echo. Jan. 23 (1945 or 1946). This copy is taken from microfilm and the year is hard to read. There is a reference on the same page to a death that occurred Jan. 17, 1946; which suggests that this article was written in 1946. NOTE: There appears to be some typos in this article. The Areter Tharp referred to was probably Arther Tharp. Their is a reference to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Tharp. I believe this should have been Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Weese, who were long time residents of Wainville.
