Slow Down!

Today we spend a lot of time rushing from place to place.  Many people wish for a simpler time, a time when buggies were the primary mode of transportation.  But, even in pioneer times, people felt rushed. In September of 1885, note was made in the Marysville Tribune that the boys in Chuckery were driving their buggies much to recklessly and fast.  Two buggies had been involved in a recent crash.  It was also noted that Hezekiah Fenner tipped his buggy over while driving through Irwin.  Fortunately he only received some bruises.  But the message was clear, the boys of Chuckery needed to take care while driving and slow their buggies.
