1904: ANNUAL CHRONOLOGY OF TRENTON

I am an inveterate reader. Even if I don't have my morning newspapers, I will reach for the cereal box and read the contents. It is for like minded visitors to this site that I post this full page, very small type chronology for the period of May through December, 1904. I find it to be fascinating reading, but my 80 year old eyes confirm that one must have a high definition monitor in order to peruse the page.

1905: A CHRONOLOGY OF AREA EVENTS

Every year the local newspapers issued a chronology of newsworthy events that occurred during the year of publication. There are a number of these chronologies in my extensive Trenton Newspaper collection and they will ultimately be digitized. To those visitors with very good eyes, the chronology will only include a listing from May to August 1905. These features were always placed on the last page of a bound volume and as a result, often were torn. tattered and sometimes incomplete, as is the specimen above.

1905: TRENTON 105 DECEMBERS AGO

Here's a chronology of events from the annual chronology which was published every year in the Trenton State Gazette.

1916: APRIL TO JUNE CHRONOLOGY

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.

1901-1902: LOCAL OBITUARY AND CHRONOLOGY

FOR MANY YEARS THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED A CHRONOLOGICAL LISTING OF IMPORTANT AND SOME NOT SO IMPORTANT EVENTS WHICH OCCURRED DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE GRAPHIC AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THE SCREEN SIZE, THE CHRONOLOGY MAY NOT BE LEGIBLE ON YOUR MONITOR. ON MY LAPTOP MONITOR, I CAN JUST MAKE OUT THE TINY ENTRIES BUT IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT READ. GENEALOGIST WILL FIND THE OBITUARY LISTING INTERESTING.
