THE GLOVER FAMILY HAS LIVED IN THE NEWKIRK - CEDAR LANE - HARTLEY AVENUE AREA FOR WELL OVER 65 YEARS, AND THE SOFFEL FAMILY EVEN PRE-DATED OUR FAMILY AS HARTLEY AVENUE NEIGHBORS. HERE WE SEE EARL HAWLEY, WHO WAS THE HUSBAND OF HENRIETTA "SISSY" SOFFEL, MAKING NEWS WHEN HE DISCOVERED A WAY TO LAUNDER THE CLOTHING OF AN ENTIRE COMPANY OF SOLDIERS. DESPITE BEING RIDICULED WHEN HE SET OUT ON THE PROJECT, HAWLEY GOT THE LAST LAUGH AS HIS INGENUITY RESULTED IN A SUCCESSFUL TIME SAVER.
