I have sailed the Chesapeake Bay for over 60 years and can assure you that mean water levels have not risen. Shorelines may be eroding, land may be subsiding but water level is not rising.

1899- From courting to courtroom (4)

It made headlines on the Eastern Shore and beyond.

It's 1899 and spring is in the air but for a young Worcester County woman who was expecting to be a bride, she'll see the older gentleman who was her would-be husband in court and not at the altar.  

The following is the concluding article of four about the in-court drama. 

The defense filed an appeal of the court's decision.  Early the following year The Maryland Court of Appeals upheld the jury's verdict.  A win for Miss Tapman but lacking the monetary amount she pursued. Newspapers in June of 1900 reported that a Snow Hill attorney had been appointed bankruptcy trustee on behalf of creditors of Hiram J. Lewes. It was also mentioned that attorneys for Miss Tapman held a $1,500 breach of promise judgement against Lewis.  This was the last of any news found mentioning the court case.

WBOC television's evening news interview with the mother of the victim was excellent on its own merits without inserting background music which served only to manipulate viewers emotions. Save the music for commercials. Let the news stories stand on their own.
