Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1916 - Yesterday's News |
||
| These clippings from ancient
and fragile newspapers stored above the Troy Gazette-Register office are
being typed by Tri-County volunteers for presentation on site. Primarily
we are preserving the neighborhood news columns and the obituary, marriage
and birth information included in them. I intend also to include articles
that show the influences on the lives and attitudes of our local populations
at the time, and I will also illustrate the individual pages with ads from
the era. Nothing is more revealing of lifestyle than the goods and services
available.
The TGR covers the area of all townships surrounding Troy and many neighborhoods have a local column submitted, but not necessarily every week or even every year. Our thanks goes to the staff of the Troy Gazette-Register for giving us access to this valuable old news so that we can share it with you. There is no better way to understand the culture and customs of our old communities than by sifting through these clippings. Even the names of some of these old communities have ceased to exist in today's world, but we have them captured and preserved here. If you do not have the time to enjoy the luxury of sifting through clippings, these will be included in the Search Engine which you can reach from the "Front Door" of the Tri-County Genealogy & History sites by Joyce M. Tice. |

The extract printed in these notes two weeks ago as a test in punctuation,
was from that part of “The little House on the Marne,” by Mildred Aldrich,
which describes the departure of the French for the front in the early
days of the present war. As printed in the July Atlantic Magazine
it affords a good example of the correct use of punctuation points as follows:
“They were packed in like sardines. There were no uniforms, -
just a crowd of men: men in blouses, men in patched jackets, well-dresssed
men, - no distinction of class; and on the platform the women and children
they were leaving. There was no laughter, none of the gayety with
which one has so often reproached this race – but neither were there any
tears.”

Troy Wins Six First Places but Loses Track Meet -
Though they lost the meet by 8 points, Coach Cosper and the Troy boys
have reason for congratulation over the out come of the Troy-Canton field
day at Alparon Park last Saturday. Six out of ten firsts is a record to
be proud of even in defeat. A little longer training season doubtless
would have turned the trick, but Canton won fairly so to the visiting team
as a whole belongs the glory of victory. The stars for Troy were
Lee Smith, firt in the pole vault, the broad jump and high jump, and Allen
Smith who captured the 100 yard and 220 year dashes. For Canton,
W. Randall was first in the mile run and the 880 yard run.
Thanks to Mr. Pomeroy’s efforts with which both teams co-operated the
bitterness of former years was largely done away with and both the visitors
and the home team will recall the 1916 meet with pleasure. About
160 attended the party in Mitchell’s Hall in the evening, and enjoyed the
program to the utmost.
