'Springfield Union' newspaper look-up please

[johnP-bedford]

Hello

If any one has access, can you please check an article that appeared in the Springfield Union (or Springfield Morning Union) newspaper for a column entitled Our Readers' Exchange written by Alice Scott Ross possibly for the 6th August 1963 to confirm it is about a unique cookbook from 1905 belonging to Benjamin Horsley of Lowestoft.   

I have the clipping but cannot post an image of it here

Thanks John

Thank you for that, that confirms the newspaper and article but not my anticipated publication date. On my copy of the clipping someone has written date of 8-6-63 which I assume is an American style date, thus 6th August 1963. Could you check the date you found please.

Also I wonder if its easy for you to check in the same paper/same column in the dates after 6 Aug 1963 to see if that cookbook gets other mentions, by searching for Horsley or Lowestoft.

That seems to be the only mention of it in that newspaper.

Yes, the date of 8 August 1963 is the correct date. Here is a full copy of that page.

From the same newspaper could you see if you can find any mention of May A Hinckley - according to Springfield Directories she is listed as 'social writer - Springfield Union' from 1956 to 1965 

[RJ137]

There are dozens and dozens of articles by her and about her. She was the daughter of Robert Lester Hinckley, a well known one time politician and businessman of the area. She never married. Miss May A. Hinckley was a noted violist and the social editor of The Union. She died 6 Feb. 1981.

Thank you RJ137 for her obituary. While I appreciate what you say that there are quite a lot of articles for her, could you search for anything she wrote that mentions a recipe or cook book around 1963 (+/- 2 years)
