Evolution of a Neighborhood

<p><b>Written 100 Years Ago - Now Released to the Public for the First Time!</b> </p><p>The letterhead on the manuscript read, "Looking forward to the Future, 1911". I carefully turned the yellow tattered pages. I was quickly swept into the world of the Holiness People, the Rowdies, and the "Old Quaker" that stood in the gap. Enjoy your journey guided by the "Old Quakers" own words written nearly 100 years ago¿ Education was at low ebb; the young man graduated at the age of 12 or 14 with little knowledge of real life and no knowledge of business methods. </p><p>The girl soon followed the boy from school and the marriage was not long postponed. A log house was built down back of the "old mans" and another Rooseveltian family was started. Things had jogged along thus for two or three generations, when a change came. The monotony of the scene was broken by the advent of a Quaker evangelist into their neighborhood.</p>
