NONAGENARIAN VISITS MONTICELLO
"Aunt Molly" Thompson, the grand old lady of Forestburgh, returned to her home at St. Joseph's on Tuesday, after spending several days visit with her friend, Mrs. M. (Minnie) McNeely, on Oakley Avenue. Mrs. Thompson was deeply grieved when she heard of the Merriewold Park tragedy*, which occurred Sunday, for her home is close to the entrance to the park and she knew the unfortunate victims long and well. She has resided in the house where she now lives for over a half century. (*An Explosion)
