| Text | "Along with chores and family time at home, there were excursions farther afield. Maritcha [Lyons] recalled day trips across the Hudson to the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, where people took in baseball games, had picnics, and revelled in other fresh-air activities." Maritcha Lyons was born in New York City in 1848. Posted to 19CBB by George Thompson, July 2012.
