These three people are legend in Southbridge but I corroborated the facts on the Internet. Hope this is adequate! If you require dates, etc., please let me know & I will provide.

Strange redirect

edit

Can anybody explain to me why "Jacob Edwards" redirects to this page. I'm a bit confused as I don't see how this relates to the article. Should this redirect be removed or have I made a mistake and it has a reason to redirect to this article? --Golem08 (talk) 11:56, 26 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ah. The Jacob Edwards library is in Southbridge, Massachusetts. I am going to remove the redirect however, as if you were searching Jacob Edwards, it is most probable you are searching for a person. There is still the redirect 'Jacob Edwards Library'. If anyone disagrees, I would be more than happy to discuss this. :) Golem08 (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
