Editor's Note: I wonder if the schmoozing of the Berlin Iron Bridge Co. man did him any good? Did he sell the Squire a bridge or not?
As for Orlando Woodward, I have spent one hour too many chasing him up. There are two that I am aware of--the likely one would be Diantha's brother-in-law. He had sisters but his mother wasn't alive in 1896. However, the second Orlando was from Allegheny County, PA. He had a living mother and sister but I can't find a direct relationship line or indirect for that matter. I'm just fairly sure they were related because so many odd names cross over into each family.
Huzzah for the married man--absolutely trouncing the bachelors in 1900!
And what news of baby Dorothy on her second day of life? Crazy, right? Okay, we don't really know what's going on for sure. I think there is some stress brewing since the only thing reported is that John took the meat wagon to Onoville. Does anyone get the feeling that this latest enterprise is a bust?
