Page "Gustave Whitehead" Paragraph 62

::" I ... recall seeing an airplane flight made by the late Gustave Whitehead approximately thirty-five years ago.

I was a boy at the time, playing on a lot near the Whitehead shop on Cherry Street, and recall the incident well as we were surprised to see the plane leave the ground.

It traveled a distance of approximately three hundred feet, and at a height of approximately fifteen feet in the air, to the best of my recollection.
