1895: Groveville-Yardville Community News


I TRANSCRIBED THIS ARTICLE ON
JULY 14, 1983 - GAZETTE:

MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1895
GROVEVILLE FUNERAL
Mrs. J. H. Lord, wife of J. H. Lord, Superintendent of the weave room of Morris & Co.'s cotton mills in Groveville, was buried on Saturday. The funeral was a very sad occasion, made so from the fact that she had no relatives in this country, being of English birth. Her husband has the sympathy of the entire community.
BORDEN REPORTS A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Edward Borden, our mince meat manufacturer, reports a very successful season.
YARDVILLE WAITING FOR A TROLLEY LINE
The people of our quiet little village of Yardville are waiting for the Trenton Electric Railroad Company to run its line as far as Yardville. A spokesman declared that Yardville had the best railroad footage in the county, where some thrifty party could build a factory and, besides making a good thing for our village, find a cheap place to run his plant.
