Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 288, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1915 — Petition Asks Reinstatement Of George Gorham As Watchman. [ARTICLE]

Petition Asks Reinstatement Of George Gorham As Watchman.

For a long time George Gorham, the one-armed man, has been the watchman at the Main street railroad crossing, operating the crossing gates from the tower.* On December Ist he was removed without apparent good cause and Charles Stultz was put into his place. Mr. Stultz is also a good man and nothing against him ‘whatever, but the many friends of Mr. Gorham do not think his removal was proper and A. Simpson is circulating ia petition asking his reinstatement and it is being signed by almost every person to whom presented. Mt. Gorham is careful, always on the jbb and his standing as a citizen deserves that he be reinstated.
