This Day in History: 1894-10-16
A sumptuous supper was served by the Christian Endeavor Society of the Ramapo Reformed Church. On a beautiful moonlight night, a large crowd sat down to a feast of roast chicken, baked ham, cold roast beef, sandwiches, chicken salad, baked beans, apple, pumpkin, custard and cream pies, fruit and coffee. The price as 35 cents but everyone agreed that it was worth a dollar. Among the Mahwah names in attendance were Banta, Winter, Van Horn, Hopper, Wanamaker, Sweet, Valentine, Peterson, Fraser, Dr. Zabriski and the Rev. King. (Bristow)
