In memory of Harry A. Sturges

News Herald – July 4, 1924 – F.E. Bleezarde, Publisher

Coeymans:

  • Everything is in readiness for the celebration of the Ever Glorious in the village of Coeymans today. The booming of cannon and crackers will usher in the dawn, and the progress of the day will be attended by a large crowd, if the expectations of the committees in charge are realized. The members of the Coeymans Fire Department are looking for a big time, and considerable effort has been put forth by the fire laddies to make the day one long to be remembered.
  • The carnival has been the topic and attraction of the week.
  • The building recently purchased from S.H. and E.J. Sherman to house the new fire equipment has been placed on its foundation at the corner of Westerlo and South Main streets, and carpenters are now engaged in making a two-story addition to the front of it. When completed, the first floor will be used for the storage of the fire apparatus, the second for meeting and recreation rooms, and the basement for the storage of ladders and other equipment.
  • Chas. Pausley has opened an ice cream and confectionary store in the Gould building on Main Street, next door to the Schaffer stores.
  • Giles Gallup is planning to remodel the building he owns on South Main Street and which he now uses for a garage into a two-family house. The house will be moved further back from the street and will make an added improvement to that locality.

Ravena:

  • The girls of the seventh grade, chaperoned by their teacher Mrs. Oswald Griffin, hiked to McCabe’s beach for an outing on Tuesday.
  • Ravena Grange will meet on Monday meeting next. Final arrangements for the excursion to Kingston Point will be made at the meeting.
