Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for April 12, 1909: “Word is the Dayton, Ohio, people involved in installing an electric car line here like the franchise that has been arranged and that work might begin soon. … A home at 946 Indiana was quarantined last evening because a university student has a mild case of diphtheria. There is no danger of spreading since the area has been fumigated and the patient moved to an upstairs room.”
