Morris Park Notes

New York, 1895

An Old Folks' concert was given in the Methodist church Tuesday evening for the benefit of the church fund.

David Torrens, of Greenwood avenue, has rented his house and, with his family, will move to Menlo Park, N. J.

Johnson and Lefferts avenues, from the Brooklyn and Jamaica road to Atlantic avenue are, owing to the mud, almost impassable for wagon travel. Thursday evening two loaded furniture vans, each drawn by four horses, became stalled in the mud on Johnson avenue opposite the school house, and they remained there until late Friday evening, when the ground became hardened by the frost and they were pulled out.
