Wagon and Gates Still on the Roof of a Building at Scotchtown (Middletown Daily Argus, 14 December 1898) Some very able bodied youths or young men celebrated Halloween at Scotchtown by placing John Hatch’s lumber box wagon astride the peak of an outhouse on the school house grounds. They then filled the wagon with gates and hung a well curb on the tongue, which was pointed heavenward. The outfit is still where the boys put it, and people are wondering when Trustee Mills or Mr. Hatch or the owners of gate and well curb will organize a “frolic” and get the wagon down. They have been waiting for the mischief makers to undo their work, but the boys haven’t made a move, nor are they likely to.
