The Deed.

Messrs Bigler and Laub, who pulled

WORMLEY'S HEIR
FILES PROTEST
Miss Eichelberger Objects to
Plan to Give Wormleysburg
Another Name

Plans OF some citizens of Wormleys-
burg to change the name or the town
for various reasons, one of which is
that the name often provokes laugh
ter, will not be accomplished without
opposition. Residents of the borough
are already divided and it is quite like
~ that a petition against the change
will be circulated at the same time the
one which Burgess ]. Fred Hummel
was requested to draw up is taken
around the town for signers. 1t is
said mum Der of persons urged the
burgess to draw up the petition which
will later be presented to Council.
Among those who oppose the change
is Miss Myrtle Eichelberger, of Camp
Hill, one of the few direct descend
ants of John Wormley, the founder of
the town. In letter to Burgess Hum
mel, Miss Eichelberger urges the bor-
ough's executive to use his influence
to preserve the present name and
says:
81 read in an evening paper that the
residents of Wormleysburg want the
name of the town changed and that
the name Wormleysburg is very often
laughed at. No one need laugh at
the name Wormley. ! honor the
name Wormley. My dear mother was
a Wormley and I am proud of it.

dents of the town forgotten what my.

they are trying to change the name.
think it would be an outrage to think
of changing the name. You need not
be ashamed of the name. Let it be a
memorial to the dead. l tell you
that cut to the heart. If my dear
mother was living it would be more
than she could stand. oh, what
cold world this is. We neither honor
the dead or the living. l do hope the
better thinking people will not sign
your petition. What do the new peo-
pie care what they change the name
to? feel sure the old residents would
be willing to have it remain what it
is, but the old are so few. oh, Mr..
Hummel, don't change the name.
Mother was the last of Grandfather
Wormley's family. Now you want tho
name wiped out of existence. Surely
Mrs. Boak could not be one that wants
the name changed. Mr.. Hummel, if
you were in my place you would feel
as / do about it. I plead of you, if it
is in your power, to let 1t remain dear
old Wormleysburg. I hope you will
not treat the matter lightly. l wish
