1930'S: MIRIAM MORRIS : WHITE HORSE "STRINGER" FOR THE TRENTON TIMES

A "stringer" is a writer who contracts with local newspapers and furnishes news from the neighborhood where he or she resides. Miriam Morris was a stringer for the Trenton Times. I have an incredibly detailed scrapbook from Mrs. Morris which has countless White Horse related news items from the area as it was reported in the 1930's. Unfortunately, Mrs. Morris didn't date many of her articles. Hence, the Circa 1930's dates until actual dates are determined.

If I recall correctly, Mirriam Morris also ran a private school in White Horse near Gropp's Lake.

I attended the Miriam Morris Private school from 1943 through 1946. I can remember when the Morris' son Bob returned from the war and was farming some sort of crop directly across the street from the school. the school used to pick us up in a pre war Ford Woody. I still have the report cards and a picture of some of the students.
