    3. I have not found much that I wanted in those papers. I find interesting Logan stuff [not necessarily individual to a family stuff] in another newspaper archive out of New York. In the old days they picked up all sorts of stuff and printed it in local papers. http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html Here's an example: A Mr. Edmonds, of Mt. Pulaski, Illinois, has invented a "horological candle," Is is rocked by means of weights and a pendulum, upon the principle of a clock. It will run twenty-four hours with one winding up. Utica, NY, Daily Gazette, late Feb 1852. I plan to pass that on to the Mt. Pulaski Historical Society and see if they know anything about it. Cheryl Rothwell
