Social History News Briefs

When news was not a 24-hour-a-day occurrence, local newspapers like the Hempstead Sentinel would run social news about local people.  The subject of these articles was often who was visiting whom, who had guests from out of town, who bought a new car, money raised for the church, and the usual birth, engagement, wedding, and death notices.
