The Life Of George Holcomb – Medical Remedies For Angeline
by Alex Brooks
Sunday, August 7, 1825: Today I rode to Richmond with my covered wagon and carried my wife, my second daughter L. Angeline, and our babe G. Pease, and Charlotte Pierce. We went to Dr. Merryman’s and he gave us some medicine to give our Angeline for the rickets, and on our way home we called to Elem Tilden’s and I paid 17 cts for one pint of brandy to put said medicine in. I borrowed a bottle to get said brandy in. We called to brother Jay Wylie’s while there was a shower, and when we were returning home we called to the Shakers and took refreshment.

Panthers Outduel O’Neill Raiders And Go To State Title Game In Syracuse
by Steve Bradley
To say the Hoosick Falls Panthers played poorly in the first quarter of last Saturday’s semi-final game would be an understatement. To say they kicked some butt for the final two and one-half quarters would be the same.
The O’Neill Raiders kicked off to the Panthers to start the game. The Panthers ran three plays, losing 7 yards, then punted the ball to the Raiders. With the ball at their 37 yard line, the Raider offense came on the field and took over, literally. On their first play from scrimmage their star running back ran through the Panther defense for a 63 yard TD. Some Panthers got in a wave to him as he ran by, but for the most part he was unchallenged. The PAT was good, and O’Neill was up by 7 less than a minute into the game.

Town Of Hoosick Opposed To Keeping Police Force If Village Dissolves
by Bea Peterson
At the Town of Hoosick Board meeting on Thursday, November 15, Hoosick Falls Mayor Matt Monahan asked the Board members for their opinion of a Town Wide Police Force. He said it was nothing formal and he was not there to lobby the Board one way or another.
He brought up the issue because for several months the Village has had a Dissolution Study underway. The Committee has met on several occasions, and two public hearings have been held. It appears there are several issues that could be worked around, but police coverage is not one of them. [Read more…] about Town Of Hoosick Opposed To Keeping Police Force If Village Dissolves
