Marlborough 100 Years Ago - June 1926

Step back in time with Episode 2 of Marlborough 100 Years Ago. This time we're heading all the way back to June 1926! Every story in this episode comes straight from the actual headlines of the Marlboro Daily Enterprise, published one hundred years ago right here in our city. We cover a massive liquor raid that swept through twenty establishments in a single night, to a mayor who stormed out of his own City Hall committee session, to a schoolteacher who had been secretly married for a month without anyone knowing. June of 1926 was anything but quiet in Marlborough. As you listen, you may find yourself doing a double take on some of the names. Cincotta. Bonin. Peloquin. Tremblay. Langelier. These are the same family names that have been part of the fabric of Marlborough for generations and many of them still are today. It is a remarkable reminder of just how deep the roots of this city run. This episode also features the grand opening of the First National Bank's brand new building on Main Street, the same building where Picco's recently moved into. We also mention the graduation of the Marlborough High School Class of 1926, a close call at the Hudson Street railroad crossing, and a very important public service announcement about a missing brown sweater.
