🕰️ Norwood snapshots: In 1985, Russell Webber’s backyard Eiffel Tower wowed neighbors with its quirky charm. Back in 1939, vandals caused $1,000 in damage at Highland Cemetery, overturning headstones and shocking the town. A 1912 murder case gripped Norwood as authorities searched for suspect Ricco. In 1903, school district boundaries were mapped out, shaping local education, while new teachers like Alice M. Watts and Elzura A. Chandler joined the ranks. That same year, Mr. Eales gained attention as a leading contender for postmaster. #NorwoodHistory
