This Day in History: 1927-05-05
In a communication to the Ramsey Journal, William E. Simpson, pastor of the Ramapo Reformed Church and Chairman of the Mississippi Flood Relief Committee protested that the paper had omitted Mahwah from stories about the fund appeal. The Township, he said, had the highest quota based on Red Cross membership. The quota had been met at the first appeal, but that the dimensions of the devastation were so great that further donations had been sought. Contributions could be sent to him, placed in a box at the Mahwah post office or given to other members of the committee: Mrs. Alexnader Adamson, Mrs. Clifford Schoonmaker, Mr. L. B. Tiedeman, & Mr. G. L. Forte (Supervising Principal). (Bristow)
