Scope and content
Marjorie Cain, wife of the Mayor, and son Harry P. Cain II (Buzzy) at (Old) City Hall for the installation of city officials, including Mayor Harry P. Cain, reelected to a full term in March, 1942. This would be Mayor Cain's first full four year term. He had previously been elected, in 1940, to fill the last two years of Dr. John Siegle's term after his death in office. Cain had lost in the 1940 primary to Dr. G.B. Kerstetter, a former Senator. When Kerstetter died just days before the election, Cain's name was placed on the ballot. He defeated former mayor Melvin G. Tennent, who hotly contested the election. (T. Times 6/1/1942, pg. 1)
