From the CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb. Baker. Geo. IN 2006, I FELT THIS SHORT ENTRY DESERVED A PAGE OF ITS OWN; NOTHING COULD BE CLOSER TO THE TRUTH THAN THIS !! Barb Baker CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 / CONDENSED INTELLIGENCE Many people take newspapers, but few preserve them: yet the most interesting reading imaginable is a file of old newspapers. It brings up the very age, with all its bustle and everyday affairs, and marks its spirit and its genius more than the most laboured description of the historian. Who can take a paper dated half a century ago, without the thought that almost every name here printed is now cut upon a tombstone at the head of an epitaph ?

Thanks for passing this along, Geo. Point taken. Edna ----- Original Message ----- From: Geo.

The centre for Oxfordshire Studies in Oxford, which I visit most Thursdays to look for answers to correspondents' Family History problems, has an excellent collection on microfilm of local newspapers, some dating from as early as the 18th Century. I get a lot of pleasure in reading the reports of past celebrations or other events. Howie >>From the CARLISLE PATRIOT, Saturday, November 18, 1843 posted with permission of the transcriber, Barb.
