In 1952 on a  Washington School trip from the Huntington High School, because Ernestine was &#039;colored&#039; the class was treated differently, such as: - couldn&#039;t walk on the same side of the street as white people; - some restaurants wouldn&#039;t let them in; - some theaters wouldn&#039;t let them in. It was a different experience for these students from rural New England&quot; [who were not aware of such prejudice.] [Interestingly, the class stood by Ernestine and none of the students went to the places not available to Ernestine.

Sears and Mrs. Richard B. Smith, newly appointed members of the Finance Board in Worthington, seem to be stirring up something. Whether discussing their children, or the affairs of the town, either will come in for proper consideration.&quot;  This is an article by Lois Ashe Brown. Moderator Ralph A. Moran said &quot;even women will be welcome!&quot; &quot;For the most part the office is advisory and carries with it a degree of prestige. Members serve without pay. Both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sears have had considerable experience with figures and both are respected for their ability at record keeping. Both women have held offices in town and county organizations.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Black framed announcement of the &quot;Arrangement for the Grand and Solemn Funeral Procession which is to take place on the 26th of May inst. 1808, at interment of the remains of eleven thousand five hundred American Seamen, Soldiers and Citizens, who suffered martyrdom on board the Jersey and other British prison ships, in the harbor of New York, during the American Revolution....&quot; According to Bob Randal, Military Historian and Vice President of the Historical Society, in the early days of the Revolutionary War the American militia comprised very untrained, ordinary men from the age of 16 to 60 who were, if not killed by the British, taken prisoners. Because there were so few British soldiers taken prisoner there was little hope of an exchange of prisoners. These 11,500 men were put on a ship hulk in the harbor of New York City. They were there until they died a horrible death of either freezing, of hunger, thirst, or heat. Some years after this brutality in the Revolutionary War there was a funeral procession for their remains. These men were unknown.  <br />
