Thank you for this amazing thread, @Rikki Gins .
I enjoy reading the news clips. My imagination runs wild.
Poor Ben Winans, the tincture of lead will destroy his mind. At least his sight was restored.
Marion County must dig deeper graves.
Henry Hallie Hornbrook died in a car accident, he drowned.
After reading about a death, you look the name up on
https://www.findagrave.com/ ?
Dear Mrs. Thompson, you have a good sense of fashion.
Beautiful scene of the high altar in Westminster Abbey. All have their heads bowed in prayer. You don’t see that in our news stories, very often.
Oh
@FISH, it is my pleasure to look for interesting clippings and other items from 100 years ago. I've been doing this for years. In fact, when I used to go to the local library I would print microfilm items out and post them on the bulletin boards at places I was working at. People seemed to enjoy reading them so I've been doing it ever since. Now, thanks to
@Bart Ell, I can reach a wider audience and I am grateful for that.
Yes, I have begun cross checking people's names on Find A Grave and I will use the info if it compliments their life stories.
I enjoy reading your (and
@PolkaDot's) comments on the various history bits. Please keep them coming.
PS, I wonder what happened to Aunt Polly? I can't seem to locate her advice column.
