UNLIKE THE CHRONOLOGIES FROM EARLIER IN THE CENTURY, THIS PARTICULAR ENTRY WAS PRINTED IN LARGER TYPE, PROVIDING AN INTERESTING GLIMPSE AT THE TRENTON IN THE WORLD WAR I ERA. I NOTE THE DEATH OF ONE OF HAMILTON'S NOTABLE PLAAG FAMIY, IDA, WHO DIED AT 21 YEARS OF AGE, AND ALSO THE DEATH OF HAMILTON HISTORIAN JOSEPH WEST.
Wow - a surprising number of suicides - especially as these were (and maybe still are) covered up when possible. Lots of accidents, too. Maybe these weren't the "good old days."
