Pete Bland, murderer · Media Historic Archives Commission

Title: Pete Bland, murderer
Spatial Coverage: Glen Mills (Pa.)
Date: 1890-1900
Description: Appleton cropped Pete Bland out of this football team photo, probably to use in the newspaper. (See Plate AP-4043, which is a portion of a full 5x7 plate, and according to Appleton's index, was originally plate AP-5041.) This had been identified as a football team from the House of Refuge (now Glen Mills School). Sam Lemon, lifelong Media resident and local historian, says that the men in the photo are too old to have been in the House of Refuge, which was for juveniles. Lemon also identifies his great-grandfather, William Henry Ridley, as the man in the hat and tie standing second from right.
