Gazette Chronicle
From the Vineyard Gazette editions of 1933:
Who on Martha’s Vineyard has paid a visit to New Vineyard, Maine? Who, among the many thousands journeying to the Island every year and taking an interest in its scene, its history and its people, knows that there is a place named New Vineyard and that it was settled by emigrants from the Island long ago and named in honor of Martha’s Vineyard?
From Gazette editions of July, 1960:
Joseph C. Whitney of Edgartown and Westwood garnered an experience Friday afternoon that will make more than a footnote if he ever decides to write an autobiography. He landed a single engine Commanche, of which he was the only occupant, without the benefit of wheels.
This column by Arthur Railton appeared in the Vineyard Gazette in June 1990:
All of a sudden, like the curtain going up at a Broadway musical, the beat has started. Longer lines at checkout counters, bumper-to-bumper along Main street, no place to park. More cars than pickup trucks. It’s that time again. For me, it’s not an easy time. My conscience gets in the way. It’s look-in-the-mirror time. Time to ask myself if I’m still the courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, etc., man that my Scoutmaster told me to be.
From Gazette editions of July, 1935:
A familiar word has already entered into the conversation of the cities — humidity; indeed, it is not altogether unknown in the polite verbal exchanges of the Vineyard.
From a July 1, 1960 column by Joseph Chase Allen:
Looking backward, the most astonishing thing to contemplate is the realization of how brief the span of years there is between the electrified present and the primitive colonial age, a span which my personal memory cannot cover of course, yet it can visualize the dovetailing of one age into the other.
From the Vineyard Gazette edition of July, 1945:
The Lambert’s Cove Methodist Church, atop its rise of high ground in one of the beautiful parts of the Island, is one hundred years old this year.
