Subject: A part of Oyster Bay history comes home
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 16:43:54 EDT

According to today's (Wednesday, October 26) NEWSDAY, "A piece of Town of
Oyster Bay history that had a brief appearance on eBay has returned home via
"priority mail," wrapped in foam and a freezer bag, and tucked in a blue and white
cardboard box."

NEWSDAY continues, "Two small weathered brown leather books containing the
town's 1850 and 1851 tax rolls and list of men eligible for the military were
displayed yesterday in Town Hall by John Hammond, the town historian, and Steve
Labriola, the Oyster Bay town clerk, who were clearly giddy about the recovery
of the documents. "If someone was doing a genealogical search or a history
of the town, these are extremely valuable," Labriola said."
