This Week in Chester History

In 1978, the Observer-Tribune reported that a check for $2,500 from Chester Flea Market proceeds was presented to Welkind Neurological hospital by the Chester Lions Club. The gift was used for the purchase of two electronic beds. Other money was given to Chester Volunteer Fire Company, Police Athletic Association, and eye screenings for 3,400 students at West Morris Regional HS in Chester and St Joseph School in Mendham.
