Notes From Aqueduct

New York, 1895

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Cornell is very sick.

R. B. Ash has bought a very fine five year old horse.

There have been quite a number of new buildings put up within the last year.

Commissioner Wolff has been very hard at work getting the snow cleared away.

Miss Jennie Coe, organist of the M. P. Church, is recovering from a bad attack of the grip.

Mr. Comlin is making this part of the country look quite tony with his Queen Anne building.

Mr. Cook has several very fine cottages and there is plenty of ground for more. Aqueduct must grow.

Benjamin Fowler rendered much help to the farmers and people of Aqueduct by sending his snow plow around to clear the paths.

The south side postoffice, under the care of Postmaster Chevallier, with the able assistance of Miss L. J. Van Brunt, is well conducted.

Mrs. W. E. Blandy, wife of the Rev. W. E. Blandy, of Aqueduct, is conducting a very successful revival in Pittston, Pa. The Pittston Evening Gazette of Monday said "Yesterday was a red letter day at the Broad street M. P. Church. Mrs. Blandy, the Evangelist, preached two very able sermons and a good feeling pervaded the large congregations that greeted her. At night there were several at the altar."
