September 3, 1962 — One of the oldest relics reminiscent of other days was presented last week to Mayor H.B. Dyche from the estate of the late Vernon L. Good. It is a porter’s badge worn by an attendant at the old Luray Inn. The badge is approximately two inches in diameter with a circular set of the wording Luray Inn with the number five between the words. The ex-mayor was presented the badge by Bill Good of the Rileyville section. The Luray Inn burned in 1891 and has been the focal point of many historical references. The badge is the only one ever seen by the staff of the Page News and Courier.
