Our enterprising merchant, Simon Melavas, has purchased the Lackey homestead,
opposite the Auditorium, and has already set to work to improve it. The
building will be raised four feet, have a good cellar placed under it, moved
close to Crippen's harness shop, have a fine new front put in it and
otherwise improved. It will add another fine structure to this section.
In the resume of twenty-five years in our last issue we unintentionally
omitted the names of a few persons who have been in business continually all
this time, and while they were not all located on what is known as the
"square," are yet in the business portion. We refer to William Bright, wagon
maker; Samuel Davis, blacksmith; O. P. Miller, barber; Enos Flynn, merchant;
H. R. Hurlbutt, real estate. Rev. George E. Guild, pastor of the Providence
Presbyterian church, is the only minister who is now serving the same
congregation as of twenty-five years ago.
A neat and quiet home wedding took place on Wednesday evening last at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Moore, of Hollister avenue, when their daughter,
Maude E., became the wife of Mr. Kenith Charlesworth. Near relatives of the
contracting parties were present to witness the ceremony, which was performed
by Rev. C. H. Hayes, of the Providence M. E. church. Mr. and Mrs
Charlesworth intend making their home at 135 Hollister avenue.
The home of Mrs. William Frease, on Dean street, was the scene of a very
attractive wedding ceremony on Monday evening. The contracting parties were
Miss Susie Owens, Mrs. Frease's sister, of Olyphant, and Andrew Pritchard.
Rev. R. J. Rees, pastor of the Puritan Congregational church, of West Market
street, performed the ceremony.
