100 Years Ago

Herald of July 22, 1921

Aug. 4 was the date for the big Morrisons Cove Memorial Picnic. Committees were enthusiastic about the planned athletic features, speakers and music furnished by the Woodbury, Salemville, Williamsburg and local bands. A big chicken and noodle dinner was planned to satisfy the hunger of many patrons. Patriotic displays and decorations, bunting and flags were requested throughout to add to the gala event.

Woodbury was preparing for its second annual picnic on July 30 in the Keagy grove south of town. A program of community singing, orchestra and band music, addresses, games and sports was arranged. A basket picnic would be shared with friends from distance and local townsfolk.

Mothers with fretful and sickly babies were invited to visit Nason Hospital an hour each Wednesday to have Drs. Grounds and Hair tell what the trouble might be, free of charge, during the warm weather season.
