Who floats like a butterfly and stands like a tree? The Lawnside Historical Society's 2005 Pictorial Calendar shows a certain heavyweight champion taking in the sights at a parade. The littlest graduates join more proud eighth graders on the steps of Lawnside school. Our mayors posing with council members, police officers and civic leaders plus special family photos grace the pages of this edition.
The color cover is a montage of the dedication of the headstone for John H. Lawson, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner buried at Mount Peace cemetery, the photography exhibit at the Noyes Museum in Oceanville, VFW members discussing their World War II experiences and 2-year-old Raymond Fussell on the lawn of the Peter Mott House. The photographs taken by Mr. Fussell of Saddlertown, a member of the Society who has just completed an exhibit, "Our History Through His Lens" at the Mott House.
Calendars are on sale at the Peter Mott House every Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. for $10. They can be ordered by mail for $12 using the Order Form on the site. The Mott House, the farmhouse linked to the Underground Railroad through the local agent, the Rev. Peter Mott, is located at 26 Kings Court, Lawnside, off Gloucester Avenue at Moore Avenue.
