About Pearl Playford:
In the early 1900's Pearl Playford embarked on a newspaper career that would continue for over fifty years. When nearly 80 years of age she began a weekly column, Reminiscing With Pearl Playford, for The Watervliet Record. Pearl wrote of Southwestern Michigan history, national politics, world history, women's rights, prohibition, holidays, religion and even the weather. Miss Playford quoted old records and other sources extensively, especially newspaper and magazine articles she had clipped and saved in scrapbooks over the decades.
