Summary |
The original book, printed in 1885 indicated that Squire Thon kept a diary for every year beginning in 1847 until his death in 1888. "If the information contained within these pages is any indication of the material contained in the original forty-one diaries, a great deal of wonderful first person material has been lost somewhere." "The Squire's fortunes reversed in his later years and he ended up at the county almshouse." [Hawbaker] Book includes a reprint of Squire Charles Thon's obituary as it appeared on the front page of The Daily New Era (Lancaster, Pa.), for Friday, December 21, 1888. |
