Runnymede Hotel History - OkieLegacy Soapbox

"That is a neat history of the Runnymede.  I added a question to the last picture of the hotel.  From what I was told, that hotel was first named the Hendrickson hotel.  If it was the Hendrickson hotel (which it sure doesn't sound like it when reading the history included on the blog), Mark NEEDS, Sr. and his wife, Mary Jane RITCHIE supposedly owned and operated the Hendrickson hotel. His son, 'Doc' Needs, operated the 'Needs Bus Llines' running from the depot to the hotel.   'Doc Needs' is the father of Daisy 'Betty' Needs.  Betty married Harold McDOWELL who was my grandmother's brother.  Small world, isn't it?"   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
