It's four years prior to Newtown changing its name to
Pocomoke City, and a visitor writes a letter to the editor of a Pennsylvania
newspaper with his observations of the town. Oysters are abundant, selling for
25-cents a bushel. The residents "are of refined and intelligent manners, **social in the
extreme." He comments that "Newtown is known for its good looking
ladies."
**(Friendliest Town On The Eastern Shore?)
Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about? It can be just a line or two, or more if you wish. Send to tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!
