    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 20, 1924, p. 1. Discovers Old Bill Of Account In Trunk at His Home C. E. Mefford, 425 South Walnut street, recently found an old record in some old trunks at his home. Among them was a statement of an account owed by Davis Browning to William Moberly, who died at the home of Mefford’s father many years ago. The record was made in 1836 in the month of January. Many of the items on the bill are listed at much less than cost today. For instance six barrels and two bushels of corn for $9.57; one bushel of seed corn at 37 ½ cents; pork at $1.87 per ctw; corn at 87 cents per barrel in another item. At the bottom of the bill which comes to $46.61 ½ cents is credit by one side saddle at $18; credit by $5; and another of $1. The statement is very interesting in point of its age, it being 88 years old. Constance T.
