Bedford Weekly Mail Bedford, Indiana Friday, January 10, 1902 FAIRGROUND TO BE SOLD. Frank PITMAN has been appointed Receiver of the Lawrence County Agricultural Society, and will sell all property and wind up its affairs. The Society was first organized 35 years ago, with 127 shares of stock, owned by about 100 persons, probably over half of whom are now dead. There has not been a full meeting of stockholders for many years, and the effort made two years ago to get some of them together for business purposes met with few responses. The 18 acres of land owned by the society, together with two acres owned by other parties, were leased to the Bedford Fair and Trotting Association, another organization, for several years. The fact that the land owned by the society, formerly worth little, is now quite valuable may bring to light some of the original stockholders or their heirs. LEESVILLE Jackson YOUNGER and W. T.
