Lancaster County historic events and personalities, 1935-1938.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/530461488

With its major focus on the citizens and events in Lancaster County, this scrapbook comprised of newspaper clippings and obituaries. Lancaster experienced a major flood in 1936 from the Susquehanna River and it wrecked train tracks that spanned from Wrightsville to Columbia. The aftermath of the flood was covered in newspaper articles that are in this scrapbook. Some of the newspaper articles reveal the history of Lancaster County, while others convey engagement, wedding, anniversary and birth announcements. Many important people were noted within the scrapbook including Walter G. Bushong, Charles Henry Demuth, Andrew W. Mellon, Milton Thomas Garvin and Dr. J. P. McCaskey.
