Old friends of the Divoll family were grieved when word was received here this morning of M. C. Divoll’s death at Trenton early today. We have been unable to get any particulars at this writing but will try to get obituary next week. Mr. Divoll was well known here, having been one of the managers of the old “Best Place” for a number of years.
