1898 Livingston Mills Christmas Cheer

Through this month, I'm going to randomly post good things that were reported on in the local newspaper for the holiday season. Today's post shows some Christmas gift-giving from Edward Greenaway, owner of the Livingston Mills that was located where the fire department building and library now stand.

The Livingston flouring mill, owned by Edward Greenaway at this place, is one of the very best, containing the latest and most approved machinery for manufacturing flour. Desiring that all should have the best at Christmas time, he loaded the dray on Saturday morning and left a 25-pound sack of flour at every house in the corporation, bearing a printed label "Merry Christmas, compliment of E. Greenaway." This was a very generous and commendable act upon his part and brought good cheer to many a home.
