News on Valentine's Day in Sherwood, Ohio, 1884

From the Hicksville News, February 14, 1884

The weather report looks very
familiar!  

Sadly, overcrowded churches aren't a problem, and the 
temperance man probably would not have much of an audience either. 


The overly zealous salesman is probably making no friends.








Maybe you recognize an ancestor on the Honor Roll?

We appreciate your comments!

    1. What an interesting article on your link, Dan! What a swindle that Bohemian oats man was running. It gives a whole new meaning to the remark in the post above about "selling" some oats.
