Baby Left on Doorstep 100 Years Ago Today
The Express-Times' "On this date" feature has a curious blurb about a baby left on a church doorstep 100 years ago today in Norristown.
A small blurb in The Express-Times' "On this date" feature reprints a small post that looks to have appeared in a local newspaper (possibly The Times Herald) on Dec. 18, 1912.
The post makes public notice of a baby girl left in a basket on the steps of First Presbyterian Church with a note pinned to the baby's clothes asking the local Reverend to find the child a good home.
