Gazette Chronicle
From Gazette editions of March, 1960:
Elsewhere appears the advertisement of the Mittark real estate agency of Gay Head, of which Lorenzo D. Jeffers is the proprietor, having been duly licensed and bonded. It is somewhat significant that Mr. Jeffers has chosen to call his agency “Mittark.” Mr. Jeffers is traditionally said to be a lineal descendant of Mittark and a hereditary chief in his own right, but more than that Mittark is credited with having entered upon a gigantic real estate deal of his own, back in the era of colonialization.
From Gazette editions of March, 1935:
While telephone wires were busy with inquiries as to whether all or only part of Edgartown was being consumed, many town residents watched the spectacle — a thin line of firefighters combatting a blaze which swept across the Great Plain between Edgartown Great Pond and Katama Bay, threatening every house in its path and destroying four small buildings and grove after grove of pine and oak. The origin of the fire was still unclear, and the selectmen commissioned Chief of Police James Geddis to make an investigation.
From a Gazette edition of 1930:
There is no place on Martha’s Vineyard that seems so far apart from the earth as Cedar Neck, the miniature promontory that juts it cedar and juniper crested bulk into Lagoon Pond.

From Vineyard Gazette editions of February, 1935:
Winter has continued to hold the Vineyard in its frigid grasp during the past week. Ice on fresh and salt water has begun to grow heavy. Drift ice in the harbors and the Sound massed together. The steamboats were delayed and began to use the Quicks Hole route, Woods Hole being closed by the ice pack on the bay side.
