The Plymouth Mail ,  January 12, 1956 I noticed last week that the Schrader Ambulance seemingly took a lot of patients to local hospitals and, since I'm often researching it, Eloise in particular. It made me wonder if they were also the funeral home people and sure enough they were. Which I confirmed through Myrilla Schrader's obituary from 2014. As one of the family owners of the funeral home her job, among other things, was driving the ambulance. In fact, during WWII when her husband Bud was serving overseas her and a sister-in-law took over the entire operation for nearly two years. The Plymouth Mail, October 18, 1946

Stroh's drinking hooligans vandalized the Romulus Cemetery just before Christmas of 1956. Some of the vandalized stones traced back more than 100 years. If followed a vandalism spree that struck both the post office and some parking meters in Romulus, along with an incident of a thrown mailbox from one vehicle that hit another. Obviously, post war small town America wasn't always so picturesque. It took me a few hours to piece the oversized and multiple scan front page together. The original pastiche is posted directly below. I did lighten it considerably in the scan below since there were so many clear lines of noticeable demarcation. I won't be scanning many more of these unless I get one of those industrial f latbed scanners. A readable version can be viewed here .
