Article genealogybank.com  "The inhabitants of Fall River, Mass. and Tiverton, R. I. it appears are in a bit of a quarrel. A portion of the line between Massachusetts and Rhode Island, happens to run along within a clever stone's throw of the most populous part of Fall River, which town it also divides from Tiverton. The good people of Factory village refuse to license dram shops, while their Tiverton neighbors, agreeably to Rhode Island laws, license all applicants, either for the sale of rum or lottery tickets. The existence of these nurseries of vice at that place, is as great a grievance to the inhabitants of Fall River, as if there were located in the heart of their village. They do not like it. - And while we deeply sympathise with them in their misfortunes, there does really appear no remedy - no other course - but to 'grin and bear it.' - N. Y. Gaz."

Article genealogybank.com  "A new survey of the line between the town of Fall River, in this State, and Tiverton, in Rhode Island, places the boundary line much further south than it has heretofore been supposed to be; so far, at least, as to include the whole of the village at Fall River in this State."

1900 - David Hambly’s Fate at Tiverton. HIS BOAT CAPSIZED.   Fall River, Mass., June 28.— News reached here today of a drowning accident which occurred in Tiverton last evening. David Hambly, a prominent citizen of that town, while sailing in his catboat, was precipitated into the water near the Tiverton bridge by the capsizing of his craft. Hambly struck out for the shore, but collapsed when a few feet from land. All efforts at resuscitation were of no avail. He will be buried in New Bedford.

METEOR FALLS IN RIVER. Shock of Its Explosion Breaks Windows in Tiverton, R. I.   FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 28. - A meteor fell into the Seaconnett River near Tiverton, R. I., last night, churning up the water and producing and explosion that sounded like the discharge of a twelve-inch gun. The phenomenon occurred during a electrical storm. The explosion was heard for a distance of twenty miles. In the immediate vicinity windows were broken and crockery shaken from shelves, while at Island Park, nearly two miles away, a merry-go-round was jarred into motion. Persons who saw the fiery body as it hissed through the sky say it was of unusual size and traveling so rapidly as to appear almost like a flash of lightning. Great jets of steam spurted from the water when the meteor struck the river. The New York Times New York, New York August 29, 1913

Hi- I bought a small (high school???)autograph book from Tiverton, RI dated 1926. The initials BMCD are written after the signatures of most students. Just curious what BMCD might stand for, would appreciate a reply, if you know the answer. Thank You - Anne M.

Wait, not so fast! The Atlanta Constitution of Sept 9, 1913 reported: Tiverton "Meteor" Proves to be Fake Tiverton R.I. September 8 - The Tiverton meteor of August 27 was today removed from the realm of natural phenomena by two young men who confessed to the police that the supposed celestial meteor was composed of sixty pounds of dynamite and a quantity of copper slag. The meteor which was reported to have fallen in the Seaconnet river was accompanied by a blinding light and a deafening crash. Two fishermen later found in the nets a heavy piece of metal, which was declared to be the fallen "meteor." The fishermen put their find on exhibition and did a profitable business until a Brown University geologist pronounced the meteor nothing but copper slag, found in quantities near a local manufacturing plant. The police closed the exhibition and began an investigation which resulted in the confession of two young men that with some companions, they had taken the dynamite and exploded it behind Gould's Island in order to cause a sensation. owen@clipboardinc.com 3/4/2013 6:04:02 PM
