MANCHESTER SECTION 
Friday, August 11, 1916. 
Born on August 2 to Mr. and Mrs. 
Dennis Conlen of Pine street, a 
daughter, weighing eight pounds. 
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kehoe are 
proud parents of a baby boy, born 
Monday, August 7, weighing seven 
pounds. 
Mrs. Burton Howard, who has been 
the guest of Mrs. Alfred Rogers for 
the past month, has returned to her 
home in Woodhaven, L. I. 
A tree near the home of Michael 
Kehoe, Summer street, was struck 
by lightning during the storm of 
Tuesday afternoon. 
The Preparedness club will give an- 
other of its enjoyable parties in Town 
hall next Tuesday evening, August 
15. A banjo orchestra will provide 
the music. 
Mrs. Roy S. Giddings of Savan- 
nah, N: Y., arrived Puesday- even- 
ing for a few weeks’ visit with her 
sister, Mrs. F. J. Merrill, Bridge 
street. Mr. Giddings and the two 
daughters, Misses Dorothy and Anna 
Giddings, may come on later by mo- 
tor for a brief visit. The son is with 
New York cavalry on the Mexican 
border. 
Michael Murphy and daughter of 
Allston have been spending part of 
the week in Manchester renewing ac- 
quaintances and enjoying the refresh- 
ing breezes at the seashore during the 
hot spell. Mr. Murphy was formerly 
in the horse business in Manchester 
dnd is now engaged in business in 
Boston. His stable on Chestnut st. is 
one of the largest in the city engaged 
in the sale of high class horses. True 
to his vocation Mr. Murphy made the 
trip over the road from Allston be- 
hind one of his choice equines. 
Work has been started on the grad- 
ing of the part of Masconomo Park 
recently filled. It is expected that by 
fall a large part of the new land will 
be ready to be laid out in the spring. 
Although few. Manchester people seem 
to appreciate the fact, the park is 
growing each year in size and in beau- 
ty. The bit of land, which was once 
almost an eyesore, has been reclaimed 
until today visitors to Manchester ex- 
claim at the beauty of the spot. 
The men, who have worked so hard 
to bring about the beautifying of the 
land, look forward to the day when 
the town will increase its appropria- 
tion for the park fund and make pos- 
sible the reclaiming of a large portion 
of the adjacent land.

Thomas Smith, ~orest street, wh») 
is employed by George S. Sinnicks, 
l:.d a miraculous escape during the 
storm Tuesday afternoon. Smith was 
working in the basement of a house 
in East Gloucester, when a bolt of 
lightning struck the ridge pole. The 
bolt followed an electrical conduit to 
the cellar and struck Smith, knock- 
i-g him unconscious. A Glouceste- 
physician worked over him an hour 
before he was restored to conscious- 
ness. When revived Smith was able 
te come to his home alone and re- 
turned to his work as usual Wednes- 
day morning, none the worse for his 
experience, apparently.
