This Day in History: 1929-06-25

To some people Cragmere Park was essentially a summer resort during its early years. Many homes were not insulated for winter living and were closed during the colder months. As time went on most residents remained all year, but some continued their part-time occupancy. One such family was that of Mr. and Mrs. William O. Sargant. They returned to their Cragmere residence, along with their daughter Marjorie, having closed their apartment in Ridgewood until the fall. They took a break between homes by driving to Northampton, Mass. to attend the graduation exercises at Smith College. On the way home they visited for a few days with former Mahwah resident Mrs. Eleanor C. Bugg at her Clinton, Conn. home. (Bristow)
