John Adams features the "Election of 1860"....and since many of our ancestors were right here in Taylor County for that vote, it is very interesting. His statistics by state and vote is very interesting. The Butler Herald articles (1909) have several interesting articles --- Escape from the Jail; fatal disagreement while building a wire fence; murder of Mr. Wiggins. (you can follow these through several issues of the paper) The many obituaries will be of interest to all of you. I find the "news items" so valuable because they mention trips, socials, school events that you might not otherwise know about. Your own comments about the issue are always welcome! Virginia
