NEWS OF BYGONE DAYS
FROM VILLAGE OF DRYTOWN
We are in receipt of a remittance
from a native of this section, many
of you older folks know him, W.
B. Barnhart, 1613 Swatara Street,
Harrisburg. He says:
Always find the editorial, news
and advertising sections interest-
ing reading. Among the columns
which attract me is Newtown,
formerly named “Drytown,” where
I attended school about 80 years
ago. At this time I was employed
on the Andrew Garber farm, near
Moore’s Mill, on the back road to
Columbia.
One thought is always recalled
when talking about Newtown or
Drytown, is the following. In my
school days at “Drytown” (then
eight or nine years old) it was
common rumor that residents on
one street fried fish only on one
side. The reason being that the
Risser farm extended from house
and barn along the road to the
Public Schcoi House and on the
other side of this road were resi-
dences of this well known city of
Drytown, now Newtown.
Professor Rufas Hipple was at
above date, the capable Instructor
in this well governed schcol.
