"Out of the Past 120 Years Ago Baumgardner's Birthday Mr. Henry Baumgardner Friday 9th reached his seventy-fourth birthday, and he chose an unusual manner in which to celebrate the event. He distributed four hundred sacks of cornmeal among the poor in the city, and many families were made happy by his generosity. Tickets, each one entitling the holder to a sack of the meal, were given to the Dorcas and Christian Doctrine Socities. They were then distributed among the poor."
