The Highland Park News-Herald & Journal had a section titled “Highland Park Happenings” from which I culled the pictured notice about poor Fern Roberts and her broken arm. We here at the branch were wondering “why was that in the newspaper” but then decided it was the social media of the day and you can find all sorts of “why say that’s” posted on social media. In any event this happening, along with many others, was found in the 7 April 1906 edition of the Highland Park News-Herald & Journal.
