In 1922, the Daily News already had something like Way Back When. A short column called One Year Ago Today featured highlights from the newspaper’s previous reporting.

On June 9, 1922, the featured flashbacks included a 100-barrel oil well being reported on Glen Lily Pike, and Bowling Green University students organizing a loan club to assist “deserving scholars.” A building on 10th Street called the Cook Building was robbed, but the only item taken was a pistol.

Finally, a drug store clerk named Spencer Todd had a new Ford vehicle that was destroyed in a fire on Cemetery Pike.

– “Way Back When in Warren County” is compiled by researchers at the Warren County Public Library and appears twice weekly in the Bowling Green Daily News. For more information about the library, visit warrenpl.org.
