Week 50 of the 52 Ancestors Challenge - "Naughty"
I still have a few entries unfinished from my 2018 run of this challenge, so thought I'd post this quick one.
Picture
The above was found in the Portsmouth Herald newspaper, printed on 5 May 1902 (pg 6). It seems my Great-Great-Grandfather JOHN KNIGHT got himself in trouble for keeping one of his children out of school, probably to work on the farm. The fine of $10 and his court costs were suspended, though. Considering that the local police departments took part in many annual summer outings held at his farm out on Fox Point, things may have been a bit awkward for the parties when the next event came around.
Picture
Here is the family in the 1900 Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire census, on 15/16 June (pg 8B). Annie would have been 16 years old in May 1902, so it was likely one of the boys.
