The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from an article titled "Workingmen's Maclure Library Association of Uniontown, Jackson County, 1857-1868, Part 2: Members," written by Judith Q. McMullen and published in the HOOSIER GENEALOGIST, Summer 2003, pp. 109-112. Uniontown was home to one of three Maclure libraries in Jackson County, Indiana. William Maclure (1763-1840) directed that funds from his estate should be used to establish libraries and, in fact, more than 140 Maclure libraries were established in 89 of Indiana counties and went by a variety of names. A list of Uniontown library members is archived at the Indiana Historical Society in the Jackson County Working-Men's McClure (sic) Library Association Record Book, 1857-1868. Those members were identified by name McMullen in her article. Noted below are the family names.

Muskegon (MICH) Chronicle, August 9, 1893, p. 6. NOT TO BE SCARED Conrad Brothers Return to the Scene of Sunday's Tragedy They Are Prepared to Take Care of Themselves-Their Home Burned-More Trouble Look For Brave Brothers Corydon, Indiana, August 9, 8 AM-The whitecaps of Boone Township burned the house of the Conrads during the night. Monday three riderless horses owned by three whitecaps-John Kendel, William Fish and William Hubbel-were found. It is thought that their owners have been killed by the Conrads who have returned from Kentucky. They say they have three more men to kill. It is thought they are in hiding in the woods. Harrison County is excited as it never was before. The murderers are in ambush and everybody is going armed. The Conrads are asking relatives to help them, and a bloody battle is expected in the next twenty-four hours. Young May Dies W. May, who was shot by the Conrad brothers during the raid of the whitecaps against the hunted men early Sunday morning is dead making five victims in all. The Conrad boys have not been captured. They left their log hut in the fastness of the hills at four o'clock Sunday afternoon. Each of the brothers carried a shotgun and had two revolvers strapped about their waist. With their old mother and their sister, Fanny, between them, they marched down the road through the woods to the Ohio River in broad daylight. At the mouth of Mosquito Creek they found Bill Niel, an old ferryman, and he took the party across to the Kentucky shore. When they reached Kentucky, Sam told the boatman he would come back and kill everybody who had a hand in the trial of the brothers for the alleged killing of their father. Neil said Monday, "I did not know who they were until I reached the Kentucky shore. Then the older man told me they were the Conrad brothers and that they had killed a lot of whitecaps. 'One of the neighbors,' he said to me, 'told me this afternoon that Albert Howe, John Wiseman, John Timberlake, William May and Edward Houston were dead. I think if they look up in the millet patch they will find another body. It is there for I saw the man fall, and I know he had a load of buckshot in his head. Altogether we fired 32 shots. Five men besides those who were killed were badly hurt. They are all a lot of cowards, anyway, and my brother and I will go back and take care of our farm in spite of them.' "The two women had to be almost carried into the boat. Fanny's face was cut and she looked as if the whitecaps had treated her roughly. The boys asked me to go over and watch their stock, but I told them I was afraid of my life to do it. After the got out of the boat in Kentucky, Bill broke down and cried, but the old woman told him not to be a baby." Search for the Killed and Wounded All day through the wild bluff country of Harrison County, untouched by railroads and almost inaccessible by wagons, wild rumors have been afloat. Raw-boned men on lean horses have been galloping to and fro through the woods. They were whitecaps apparently, but they were not looking for the Conrads. They were trying to find out definitely how many of their number were killed by the men whom they had planned to whip and perhaps lynch. Reports that six more whitecaps were missing had started them on the search. One prominent farm, Henry Tinsley, living near Elizabeth, was found to have a serious wound on the chest and may die. All the county turned out to the "burying" Monday of the four dead whitecaps. The funerals were held from four little churches eight or ten miles apart and almost hidden in the depths of the tangled woods. From one to another, up and down the bluffs, the strange crowd of backwoods people journeyed, paying their last tribute to their fellows for the dead men were all prominent farmers. How the Battle was Fought Adam Anderson of Laconia was one of the first to go to the house Sunday morning. He said, "As near as I can learn, there were about sixty in the gang of nightriders who called on the Conrads Sunday morning. They hitched their horses in the woods on the brow of the hill and started to climb down the bluff into the ravine. The Conrad boy, who was lying out, ran to the house and gave the alarm to his brother. They then took their shotguns and revolvers and hid in the edge of the cornfield that comes within 30 feet of the house. The nightriders in their long white cambric masks quietly surrounded the house. Then a dozen of them with a rail and a sledge walked up on the porch and demanded that the door be opened. There was no answer, and they struck it with the rail. At the sound, the Conrad boys opened fire. Albert Howe and John Wiseman fell dead in their tracks, heavy loads of buckshot striking each of them in the head. Another volley and Timberlake and Houston had fallen. Their comrades attempted to pick up the bodies, but the Conrads kept firing, and the whole gang of sixty men fled for their lives." A Death Blow to Whitecaps One thing is certain, the Conrads have frightened the whitecaps of Harrison County, whose strength has been heretofore in numbers, into the palsy. Good citizens are praying that the Conrads have struck the death-blow to the reign of the grim "nightriders." It is plain that the sympathy of the people in general is with the Conrads. The sheriff of Harrison County, it is thought, will make no attempt to arrest them for, as one old farmer put it, "they have done nothing but defend themselves right smart." Even men who are known to be themselves whitecaps dare not defend the action of the nightriders.

Flint (MICH) Journal, April 7, 1900, p. 1. RAT STORY BLOOMS THIS YEAR Comes from English and Tells of Great Slaughters of Rodents English, Indiana, April 7-Reports of devastation by hordes of rates now passing through the county continue to be received, and wonderful stories of rat-killing contests are common. Rev. Warren Cole of Marietta records the greatest feat. With the aid of two ferrets and a number of box traps, such as are used in catching rabbits at the mouth of burrows, Cole caught 856 rates within less than ten hours. The traps were emptied into a closed room and half a dozen dogs were turned loose, the rat killing continuing until the rodents were dispatched. All the dogs were more or less injured having been bitten by the rats, many of which fought with desperation. The rats are only found in localities in the county. They seem to be emigrating, traveling in great numbers, and westward bound. Cole lost more than 1,000 bushels of corn and nearly 2,000 pounds of bacon in less than a week. Poultry breeders complain of severe losses. Poison is the common method of killing the vermin, and it is proving very successful.

Flint (MICH) Journal, April 26, 1900, p. 4. GIRL WHO HAS COOL NERVE Saves Her Life by an Application of Strength and Bravery English, Indiana, April 26-While Anna M. Brown, a school girl, was returning home from shopping on Saturday evening and was crossing the railway trestle over Little Blue River, she was in danger of being overtaken by a train at a point where the trestle is 75 feet high. Although scarcely 14 years old, with great presence of mind she swung herself from the end of the ties and clung fast until the train passed. The engineer saw her danger and stopped in time to be of assistance in rescuing her. It is the third time that women have saved themselves in this way on that trestle.
