Old home town – 100 years ago today
From the Lawrence Daily World for July 16, 1906: “Burglars entered the home of A. Eberhart, 1132 Rhode Island, early today and stole $27.07 from a desk and 50 cents from a pocketbook in the kitchen. The $27.07 was all the money in the treasury of the Lutheran Sunday School and the burglars were evidently familiar with the house and the fact the money would be brought home from church. :The national grand lodge meeting for the Elks is drawing some 40,000, including Lawrencians, to Denver.”
