The Sprague assaults by Charles H. Rugg rocked the town in the winter of 1884. Key local figures in this case were Spragues and Petits, who were farmers on Front Street. The assault followed the 1883 Maybee murders in Brookville. The accused man was hanged for his crimes in 1885.

Social History News BriefsWhen 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.
