2008: HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A WORD ABOUT MY WEBSITE



A NOTE FROM TOM:
Many of the articles and news photos posted on this site are extracted from my collection of Trenton newspapers. They include the Trenton Times, the Daily State Gazette, and the Daily True American. Additionally, as an enthusiast of local history for many years, there are many clippings which were in the many scrapbooks I have collected over the years. I began manually transcribing this historical material before computers and scanners became available. Some of these papers are in very poor condition, and you will note that many of the transcribed articles have only the date and subject listed. Additionally, the photos from the early 20th century are quite primitive, and were produced before the offset/printing process was perfected.
THE 120 YEAR OLD ARTICLE ON "THE OLD BOROUGH" OF CHAMBERSBURG WHICH IS PRESENTED HEREWITH IS AN EXAMPLE OF LITTLE KNOWN LOCAL HAPPENINGS FROM OUR WONDERFUL LOCAL HISTORIC PAST.
