On May 30, 1921 a young man named Dick Rowland, who was about 19 years old, 
got on an elevator in the Drexel Building, on South Main St.  

He entered the elevator and, in some way, came in contact with Sarah Page, 
who was the elevator’s operator.  She was about 17 years old.  Sarah let 
out a scream and a clerk in a nearby store heard her yell, Dick Rowland ran 
from the scene, and the store clerk called the police.
