Miss Wagner had warned the chill

continued.
Mrs. Austin Cromby was taken to
the home of kindly neighbors but
her husband remained on watch and

neared the shore. A by-stander said
he took the body of his child in his
arms and would not give it up until
friends took it from him and led him

So far as official communicates
were concerned, the most substantial
clue in the hands Of the authorities
was the story told them by q Miss
Heating, a waitress of Pennington,
few miles from Hopewell.
Three In Restaurant
Miss Heating said three men enter
ed the restaurant where she is en-
ployed and inquired the way to the
Lindbergh home. That was last Fri
Gay night. She gave them directions
to reach the secluded. $4,000 estate.
The same three men returned to
the restaurant Tuesday night. After
a brief lunch, they left. Two hours
after their departure, the Lindbergh
baby was gone from his nursery. -
The authorities regarded Miss
Keating's information as highly i'm
portant. She was taken by q state
trooper to Newark and New York to
study pictures in the Rogues' gall
leries In the hope she might be able
to identify photographs Of the men.
No report on the outcome Of the
journey to New York had been receiv-
ed early Thursday. At Newark, how
ever, 1t was understood she selected
several photographs, but there was no
comment by the police.
Shortly after the visit to Newark
Miss Heating and the state police Of
ficer appeared at Jersey City police
headquarters. Following their con-
ference with police authorities Jersey
City police were ordered to search all
boarding houses and hotels. Instruc-
lions were to look for "a man, q wom-
an and baby"
Post Box Guarded
The post box In Newark in which
the postcard to Col. Lindbergh was
mailed Wednesday was kept under
police eye Throughout the night. Po-
lice had q description Of the man be-
lieved to have posted the card.
Newspapers, announcements from the
stage, and the radio were enlisted to
spread the mans description. He was
described as about - years old, short
OF stature, weight shout $50 pounds
and with dark hair. He wore dark

but nothing was being left undone.

LADIES' AID PICNIC

June 21, 1882, was gala day at
the Newberry cottage at Slaughter
Beach, when the Ladies Aid of the
Avenue NJ. e. Church of Milford
spent the day with their president
Mrs. VIM. Aldred. A few of the la
dies went down in the morning and
had dinner with the hostess.
+ In the early afternoon they began
to arrive, few at a time, until the
porch was filled and all chairs TAX
en-. The afternoon was spent with
sewing, story telling and etc. A
clown" was provided, who kept us
roaring with laughter until the
President called us to order to listen
to a paper which was written in the
gay nineties. There was a house
party in the "Chatterbox Cottage"
by a dozen or more young ladies,
their chaperone was Miss Sallie Ad-
kins.
The very interesting document
was written by Miss May Marriott.
At supper time about 25 people
sat down to a long table arranged
on the screened porch and loaded
with a great variety of food as ev-
eryone contributed something to the
menu.
The presence of our genial pastor
and his wife was missed but Roland
Messick and Haswell' Pierce, the su-
perinteudent and eX-superintendent
of the Sunday school, did their best
to fill in the gap.
AS the twilight hours came some
sweet old Methodist hymns were
sung which must have been very in
teresting to the neighbors.
All went we'll and everyone was
happy until the husband of one lady
decided it was time to go home
much against the said lady's wish
and she went off weeping.
Everyone voted the day a great

DO YOU REMEMBER?


How many of us remember the site
of Milford's first postoffce? The
first postoffice was located on West
Front street, where the Coffin Ac-
cessory Store and Berlin's Depart
ment Store now stands. The build
ing was a one and one-half story
frame building and the postmaster
was Alex Hall.
From there the postoffice was
moved to the Mitchell Block on West
Front street and 1t there occupied
one of the old brick buildings which
were a familiar sight in Milford un-
til about eight years ago. The post
masters at that time were Rhoads S.
Hammonds and Aaron Bell.
Later the postoffice was moved to
the Williams Block on East Front
street. The postmasters there were
Ruebin A. Stuart, and William G..
Herring.
From the Williams Block the post
office was moved to the Watson
Block on North Walnut street, and
DR.. Robert Watson was the postmas-
ter there for several years.
From there the postoffice was
moved to the site which is now occu-
pied by Dan Collins grocery store.
The first postmaster there was VIM.
Following him the post
masters were Andrew Thomas, VIM.
V. Sipple, John P. Steward and Frank
w. Davis. Mr.. Davis was the post
master when the postoffice was
moved to the present site in 1910.
