Sheets ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/il/macoupin/misc/fleming.txt Black Town was a temporary group of buildings and tents constructed underneath the rail road trestle north of Staunton, visible from Rt. 4, during its building in the summer of 1913. It sat next to Cahokia Creek. The duration of its existance I currently do not know. Black Town News was not a newspaper. These were letters to my grandmother Edna Schmutzler, who at the time was staying in St. Louis. These were written by Nettie Fleming, Edna's sister under the psuedonymn of Jim Crow. --------------------- If you see errors, please let me know...
