"Murder and Mayhem" - at breakfast?

"He killed my Uncle John."

In 2010 local historian and Sentinel reporter Joe Cress wrote a book Murder and Mayhem in Cumberland County relating tales of the dark side of this county's history.  On the cover, a man in handcuffs is being led away by the sheriff after he had murdered a Carlisle lawyer, and shot three others in August of 1955 in the courtroom of the Old Cumberland County Courthouse on the next block of our street.



Before his departure this morning, one of our young guests glanced into our gift case and suddenly pointed at the book saying "That was my great-grandfather."  Already sensing his response, Mary asked who, and Aaron said "Percy Haines!", to which Mary said quietly "He killed my Uncle John".

Needless to say the departure was delayed and it was a matter of moments before Aaron and Mary were poring over old clippings from the Sentinel and other newspapers, as Mary told Aaron of the happenings that sad day in 1955.  And Aaron responded with his family's views about Percy Haines.

Breakfast here at the Carlisle House is always interesting, and never more so than when the guest coincidences are as close to home as this one!

Veterans Day 2011

The Carlisle House Hosted

6 Veterans

for the Nationwide

B&Bs for Vets Celebration!

Innkeepers said thank you to those who’ve served our country by giving veterans a special Veterans Day wake up on 11-11-11. Hundreds of Inns and B&Bs throughout North America opened their doors yesterday, November 10, 2011 to active and retired military by offering a free room to those who’ve served.

The Carlisle House celebrated with 4 rooms and 6 active duty and veteran guests…two couples were both active and/or former military members. As Mary is a former Army Nurse, the breakfast conversation was lively and hugs plentiful! These photos capture the special guests.

One vet, whose wife (a Vietnam era Army nurse) could not be with us, told of his 3 daughters...all Army nurses as well. He gave us a 2004 article in the local paper about the four amazing women in his life! Another regular visitor with family in the area announced that she was ALSO a veteran so we had 8 in the dining room.

I'm Dreaming of a White Halloween in Carlisle, PA

Who would believe snow for Halloween! Possibly 6 inches too. Had many Dickinson parents here for the Centennial Conference cross country meet. What a day to run!

We hear many trees and branches are down including this one 2 doors down the street.

Our back deck and patio looked more like January. Hope it is not precursor of things to come this winter!
