From a 1935 Gazette edition:

Of all peculiarly earth-born traditions that still survive among men, perhaps there is none older than that of the sea serpent in its varied forms. Research reveals that there were indeed fearsome things abounding in the sea at some ancient date. That tales of these creatures should have descended among mankind for generations is not at all strange.

From Gazette editions of March, 1985:

The Square Rigger, a well known Edgartown landmark located at the entrance to town, will be sold at the end of the month to William Holtham of Chilmark. Mr. Holtham is the owner of the Home Port, a family-style seafood restaurant in Menemsha. Mr. Holtham said he plans to turn the Square Rigger back into a full restaurant; the establishment was formerly a restaurant but has become better known as a tavern in recent years.

From Gazette editions of March, 1960:

Elsewhere appears the advertisement of the Mittark real estate agency of Gay Head, of which Lorenzo D. Jeffers is the proprietor, having been duly licensed and bonded. It is somewhat significant that Mr. Jeffers has chosen to call his agency “Mittark.” Mr. Jeffers is traditionally said to be a lineal descendant of Mittark and a hereditary chief in his own right, but more than that Mittark is credited with having entered upon a gigantic real estate deal of his own, back in the era of colonialization.

From Gazette editions of March, 1935:

While telephone wires were busy with inquiries as to whether all or only part of Edgartown was being consumed, many town residents watched the spectacle — a thin line of firefighters combatting a blaze which swept across the Great Plain between Edgartown Great Pond and Katama Bay, threatening every house in its path and destroying four small buildings and grove after grove of pine and oak. The origin of the fire was still unclear, and the selectmen commissioned Chief of Police James Geddis to make an investigation.

From a Gazette edition of 1930:

There is no place on Martha’s Vineyard that seems so far apart from the earth as Cedar Neck, the miniature promontory that juts it cedar and juniper crested bulk into Lagoon Pond.
