Historical Pieces Wanted

The Observation-Disclosures desires
historical pieces on various subjects
pertaining to Somerset County.
Among them might be mentioned
early histories of various Somerset
County towns. Often times a To-
cality of much less extent than a
town will have a history of it's own,
sometimes conferred around school
or church.
In many instances this paper can
aid greatly in keeping alive the in
terest in school Alumni Associations
by publishing timely articles, histori-
cal or otherwise, about them. Where
photos of persons, buildings, etc, are
available, they often add greatly to
the interest of such pieces
We solicit correspondence from any
one interested in the above.
