Many articles such as the one above dealing with "rural Chambersburg" and Our Lady of Lourdes School, have been buried in the millions of pages of the daily Trenton newspapers of the past. The above article and hundreds like it, contains historic facts that have been completely unknown to many of us for over a century. It is a joy to bring them into the light of day for current and future generations. Historians agree that newspapers are among the best sources of history, In this case, they provide a valuable addition to the history of the local area. One of the projected on screen programs I do as part of my library outreach is entitled,"The Computer and Local History: Perfect Together;" and indeed they are.
