The weekly paper!
I especially love this feature of the Hull Times . . .
Let me share some news from February 3, 1911
--Dr. Blake of Green Hill has had more than his share of trouble, he has lost his little child.
--In the fish shipment of Monday last week from Provincetown were included 300 barrels of flounders. Those flatfish must be plentiful in Cape waters.
--The Mayflower has returned to Nantasket. She was cut into and 20 feet added and it cost $60,000 to repair her. The boats are all being painted for the summer business.
--The funeral of James F. Dowd, formerly of this town, took place yesterday in Connecticut. He was a brother of Augustus Dowd, who discovered a grove of big trees in California.
I love the kindness and community of these stories. I also love how they throw around things like the Mayflower has returned and his brother discovered a grove of BIG TREES in California.
I assume they mean something different than what comes to My mind. I think I need to do some research!
I also love that a Hullonian built this snow serpent.
Awesome!
