Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for April 4, 1908: “Beginning April 16, Uncle Sam will have a full-fledged post office in operation at Kansas University. E.B. Cronemeyer will be in charge and students will assist. : A smallpox patient broke quarantine yesterday in Topeka and there is concern about how many he might have infected. There is a watch for the disease here but so far there have been no cases reported in Lawrence. “
