1938: Newcomerstown Fire Department

Firemen Lauded for Redecorating Rooms

The Coshocton Tribune, Friday, April 01, 1938 - Newcomerstown firemen were highly commended at a dinner Wednesday night by Mayor C.B. Mugford for their efforts in redecorating the department rooms in the rear of the town hall.

The fish dinner was prepared and served by the firemen, with the mayor, members of the police force and village council, Village Solicitor John Schlupp, Street Commissioner Fred Opphile and Ralph Scott attending.

Short talks were given by Councilman D.B. Moore and Cecil Haver, members of the fire and police committee.

The dinner was served by Edward Warner, Charles Neiderhauser and Ralph Wise at a long table in the department truck room. A large cake, with the names of all the firemen imprinted on it, centered the table.

During a business meeting held immediately after the dinner it was reported that the recent benefit show at the Ritz Theater had netted the department $36.70, to be used to improve the rooms.
