Buffalo Evening News November 9 1905

One of my long time clients dropped me off a surprised today. He said these were sitting in his house for years. Plus some Buffalo Sunday Times from 1925.

My grandfather was 2 months old when this was printed.

Not in great condition but still very readable. I'll have to be very careful with these

Nice. Is that burnt on the right edge?

Love when IO used to find old newspapers in houses, was not smart enough to have kept them !

Are you able to turn the pages to see what the election news was in the burbs?

I took more photos. I'm going to upload them after work. Some interesting stuff.

Democrats were pretty bad is 1905

My grandfather was only 2 months old. He was born Sept 5th 1905. His family was in Retsof, New York. I can't remember what year his father purchased the property at 1194 Lovejoy. That would be the year they moved to Buffalo. Had to be before 1910's because he graduated from an auto mechanic school on Harlem near William. When I go home I'll look to see the year on the diploma.

His father worked at the Retsof Salt Mine before buying property on Lovejoy opening up a bar. I'm pretty sure my great grandfather died about 1933 in the upper front bedroom and my great uncle his brother died on the floor in the lower back apartment. Don't know the year.

My grandfather never shut up talking about the past. He would be a dusty 111 years old this year if he was still alive. He would tell me how his father would take him into the mine to feed the mules. For the most part the mules never came out of the mine.

I took some photos of the articles in the paper. Wait till you see one. Talk about not being politically correct.

I don't really know. Looks more like it blacken over age...Or if it is burnt it was not directly on fire but close enough to be charred.
