Pottstown Daily News  12/8/1902 Edition December 8, 1902
Dutton S LIGHTCAP, of Talladega, Alabama, accompanied by his wife, came to 
Pottstown on Saturday evening after an absence of twenty years. Mr. LIGHTCAP 
was born and reared in Pottstown.  He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs.

learned the trade of machinist here and became an expert workman on fine 
machinery.  Twenty years ago he emigrated with his wife to Kansas, but after 
remaining there a short time he went to Alabama.  About this time he became 
interested in dental surgery and studied with such success that he was soon 
master of the science.  He opened a dental office in his adopted southern 
city, Talladega, and has won a fine and lucrative practice.  His brother, 
Samuel, also a Pottstown boy, is located in the same profession in Mobile, 
Alabama. 

Mr. LIGHTCAP sees marked changes and improvements in the town of his boyhood. 
His two sisters reside in this county, Mrs. Flora, wife of Harry HIGH, and
