The Cranford Library has put back copies of the Cranford Chronicle (in it's various forms), CHS year books and other directories on-line in a serachable format. Look up your name, your friend's name, organizations happenings, etc. Go tohttp://archive.cranfordlibrary.org:8080/ and select your periodical, years and key words. I forgot most of this stuff!!!
