There are many reasons we like living in Jenkintown — good schools, easy train ride into town, strange people — so here’s a little glimpse into the sort of drama that always seems to be percolating everywhere. This time, Jenkintown, 1910, by way of the local, local newspaper conglomerate<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Senator\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Daughter Found \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Mrs. Hallowell Irwin, daughter of the late Senator Thomas B. Harper, who mysteriously disappeared from her home in Jenkintown, several weeks ago, was found in a hotel in New York and brought back to home at Jenkintown on Saturday. Although no reason is ascribed for Mrs. Irwin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s absence, which kept her relatives worried for some time, it is believed that she became despondent immediately after her father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death and wandered away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two sentences, but a whole world of mystery. <\/p>\n

Also, unrelated but in the same article: <\/p>\n

Boy Dies of Lockjaw \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Valek Dranaka, aged 17 years, of Bridgeport, died on Saturday in the Norristown Hospital of lockjaw, which developed from blood poisoning, following a wound on the leg near the ankle, the result of having been struck with the iron point of a bobbin while at work in Loes\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 mill, Bridgeport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just a reminder that life was harder, death more frequent. This young boy, who should have been in high school, but was working in a mill, killed because his nicked ankle became infected. Think about that the next time you hear someone cranking on about modern medicine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
