Randi, As Halloween approaches, I would like to include this item in the Lawrence county INGENWEB site, but I'm not sure what, or where, the History Center is. Is it synonymous with the Lawrence County Museum of History which I have listed in our "county links" page? (See http://www.ingenweb.org/inlawrence/newpage.htm ) Is there somebody at the History Center or Museum that people could contact if they're interested in attending? I'd love to go, but it's a long trip from Anaheim, CA, where I live. :( Thanks for your help, Chuck Carey Lawrence county webmaster At 03:51 PM 9/14/2014, you wrote: >Fellow genealogists- > > > >The item below was sent to me by the Lawrence County History Center. >Although I've never been able to go due to a scheduling conflict, I've heard >great things about this program. > > > >Randi Richardson > > > > > > > >You won't want to miss the latest installment in the "Downtown Dead Tell >Their Tales" series.

Maysville (KY) Evening Bulletin, March 23, 1892, p. 4. ON TRIAL FOR MURDER Seymour, Indiana, March 23-William Euler and Mrs. Samantha Saylor, who have been living together unlawfully ner this city for two years, are on trial here for murder. The body of a dead infant was found on the river bank near their home, and the circumstantial evidence of their guilt is very strong. Mrs. Saylor is a soldier's widow and a pensioner.

Maysville (KY) Evening Bulletin, March 10, 1892, p. 4. THEY WANTED TO SEE THE COUNTRY Jeffersonville, Indiana, March 10-Alexander Stout, fourteen years old, and Henry Wools, Jr., eleven years of age, grandson of the late Henry B. Wools, at one time a prominent southern Indiana newspaper man, tramped in the city from Seymour yesterday, much the worse for wear from their trip.

Indianapolis (IN) News, February 26, 1880, p. 3. NOTE: According to the 1870 Census record, John B. Felly, age 66 and a native of Wurttemberg, was enumerated head of household in Spencer Twp., Harrison County, with his 71-year-old wife, Barbara, also a native of Wurttemburg. He reportedly owned real estate valued at $968 and personal property valued at $50. John B. Felly, aged 79, was found yesterday at his home in Spencer Township, Harrison County, lying dead upon the floor with his eyes eaten out and one arm and one side frightfully gnawed by rats. He was quite feeble, a widower, lived alone, and had been dead a week when his body was discovered. There was no food in his house nor anything to prepare from, and the conclusion is irresistible that the old man died of starvation. He owned a farm of 100 acres of good land. Three weeks ago he went to Rothrock's mill, nearby, and asked to purchase some flour on a short credit but was denied; then the old man returned home to die of starvation. He was a miser and had a good deal of money hid away.

Theophilius Adam Wylie, INDIANA UNIVERSITY, IT'S HISTORY FROM 1820, WHEN FOUNDED, TO 1890 (Indianapolis, IN: Wm. B. Burford, Lithographer, Printer and Binder), 1890, p. 227. Samuel Wylie Dodds, born May 22, 1841, in Corydon, Indiana; died November 7, 1861, in St. Louis. Educated in Bloomington. Degree-A.B. Occupation and position-enlisted in the Union Army soon after graduation, Eighteenth Regiment, Company H. Went with his company to join Gen. Fremont's army in Missouri. Was sent to take care of a dying comrade, R. D. Wylie; was taken sick himself and died in hospital at St. Lois. Mr. Dodds was a member of the Presbyterian Church by baptism and profession of faith, and a young man of more than ordinary talents.

Ft. Wayne (IN) Sentinel, July 30, 1879, p. 2. William Highfils of Harrison County, who died from a hoop snake bite (as noted) in every paper in the state a few days ago, made a flank movement and didn't die at all. He was at the point of death, so the press just killed him on paper to save two items. When composition costs 30 cents per 1,000, an editor can't afford to make two items out of one snake bite. We're glad, though, just the same that we didn't say any hard things about Mr. Highfils when we killed him. If a man wants to bite himself with a snake and then get over it, there is no law to stop him.

Crawford County (IN) Democrat, February14, 1918, p. 1. DEATH OF MRS. JANE STEWART Mrs. Jane Stewart, who came to English last September to spend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. H. Heishman, died February 9th of organic heart trouble and was taken to Marengo Sunday where the body was laid to rest. Rev. Taylor conducted the services that were attended by a large crowd of people who followed the remains to the last resting place in Marengo Cemetery. Following is the obituary: Leanah Jane Stewart, daughter of Silas and Rebecca Lambdin, was born near Marengo, November 15th. She was united in marriage to David R. Stewart November 8, 1855, to whom ten children were born, three sons and seven daughters. Together in the sweet relations of conjugal love for 61 years, they traveled the long road, and on the morning of February 9th, God called her to the heavenly home not made with hands. Six daughters, Mrs. Rebecca Scott, Mrs. Selena Jameson, Mrs. Zada Byrd, Mrs. Mary Heishman, Mrs. Sallie Mayes, Mrs. Lillie Green; 22 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends remain behind to praise and honor her name. In 1861 she and her husband were baptized and united with the M. E. Church. Her remains were carried from the old home in Marengo to the last resting place in Marengo Cemetery.

Crawford County (IN) Democrat, February14, 1918, p. 1. OBITUARY Robert Leasor Lamb was born August 9, 1904, died January 7, 1918, age 13 years, 4 months and 29 days. Noland Rusk Lamb was born at English March 16, 1902, died January 17, 1918, age 15 years, 9 months and 25 days. They leave their grief-stricken parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Lamb of Crandall, grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Leasor of English, and many other relatives to mourn their departure. It will be noted the two brothers passed out of life just a few days apart. The cause of their death was a very malignant type of scarlet fever. All that medical skill could suggest and all that tender care could furnish was freely given, but these were of no avail and death claimed for his own these stalwart lads of promise. Noland and Robert were welcome in the homes of their neighbors and were the life in the circle in which they moved. They were studious and ambitious for the future and we thought their life might be long and their achievements many. We would wonder while we do not question the wisdom of the Father as he deals with man. Surely his ways are past finding out. The sympathy of all goes out for the bereaved parents who are almost prostrated by their loss. Owing to the nature of the disease, no public funerals were held, and they were placed away in Bethlehem Cemetery with just a few present. Their funerals will be preached at some future time.

New Orleans (LA) Times-Picayune, November 24, 1864, p. 1. A Fool-John Trulock, a drafted man from Jeffersonville, Indiana, after being accepted and mustered, chopped off two fingers of his left hand to get out of service. John is a fool. Two fingers won't let him out.

Ft. Wayne (IN) Daily Gazette, August 24, 1869, p. 1. Louisville, August 23-A horrible and unaccountable double suicide was enacted yesterday at Jeffersonville, Ind., the victims being a newly-married couple. George Barnacle, a German, after drinking whisky to excess with his wife, went out and procured a half gallon of beer that he brought home. His wife drank some of this beer and within ten minutes was a corpse. Before Barnacle could be prevented, he drank a large quantity of the same beer and died about noon, half an hour after his wife expired. Upon making an analysis of the beer, it was found to contain arsenic and morphine, and it is supposed Barnacle put it in the beer as he and his wife were heard to talk of poisoning each other during their drunken orgies. Bernacle (sic) had been in low spirits since his marriage by reason of a false statement that his wife's former husband was still living.
