251. Orphans' Home At Modoc.(1912)

 250.  Orphans' Home At Modoc.


  An orphans' home sprang up in a day in the vicinity of Modoc last week. Mr. and Mrs. Croker of Chattanooga, Tenn., business men of that city arrived on the train from the east with twenty-seven colored orphan children, for the summer outing and they are now located in an old store building near the depot, entirely too small for convenience.
  Tents and provisions have been shipped here and they will soon be living in the open air on the outskirts of this little city. There are to be 80 children in their new Modoc home.  Published in the Union City Times, May, 1912.


The Winchester city council has purchased six silent policemen to be placed at the four corners of the square and one to be placed on the corner of North and Meridian streets and on the corner of North and Main.  April 27, 1921.
