  Auburn - John Titman has sold his farm to John West, consideration $4,600.
This includes the house and lot.  Well, Mr. West, were it not for the writer's
farm you might say, as many others do, that you now own the nicest farm on
the road between Meshoppen and Montrose.  Mr. T. will take up his abode in
Montrose and expects soon to become the mayor of that city.

From a newspaper local to Montrose, Pennsylvania in July of 1910:

BEGIN

  Auburn/South Montrose - John West, of Auburn, while a short distance
below South Montrose, had his horse frightened by an automobile driven by
Dr. Norris.  The horse whirled completely around, throwing Mr. West out and
tearing to the scalp a gaping wound.  His clothes were nearly torn off and
he also suffered a number of painful bruises.  Dr. Norris took the injured
man to the home of his brother in law, A. I. [sic] Lake, sewing up the scalp
and making him as comfortable as possible.  He is recovering and in a short
time will be none the worse, it is hoped, for the thrilling experience.
