Anyone having trouble with Ancestry this morning. They have a "special" message from the CEO and I can't get it to search at all - even read the message and it still won't search. Grrrrrr -- was wondering if anyone else was having that trouble?
Haven't tried Ancestry yet this morning, but in other mail I noticed this: "In a campaign to highlight new collections added in 2013, Ancestry.com is offering free access to select collections today and tomorrow. Free access ends 29 December 2013 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Access to the collections requires a free account which can be obtained without providing credit card information.

Source: Crawfordsville Journal, May 13, 1907 Marion, Ind May 11 --Being the only woman in Indiana to manage a night telegraph office is a distinction which falls to Miss Katherine Rhorer, a plucky Marion girl of 21 years, formerly of Darlington. She has been faithful in her work, having missed but one night during a year of service. Miss Rhorer is not only the night operator and manager of the local office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, but she records the reports made over the ADT signal system by the watchmen in factories. She goes on duty at 6 o'clock in the evening and works until 7 o'clock in the morning. Miss Rhorer has grit and has no fears of being molested, but she exercises the precaution of having a loaded revolver near at hand and she is not afraid to handle it when necessary. On two or three occasions since she has worked at night intoxicated men have entered the office by mistake, but they become suddenly sober when they were compelled to look down the shining barrel of a pistol in the hands of Miss Rhorer. She has engaged in target practice at odd times until she has become a good marksman. When asked if she would really shoot anyone she replied, "I might." Miss Rhorer learned to be an expert telegraph operator under the tutorship of her brother, Fred Rhorer, who is chief operator in the day time of the same office.

*Source: Waveland Independent Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana Jan 29, 1926 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Jane Smith Mitchell, widow of Henry Mitchell, died at her home in Prairie Township, Warren County, Indiana, Jan 12, 1926, at the age of 83 years, 1 month and 25 days. She emigrated to the US of America in the summer of 1864, with the family of John Mitchell, father of Ingram, Samuel, Jennie, Mary, Essie, John Jr and Archie Mitchell from Bailisborough, Caven Co, Ireland and landed at David Meharry's Shawnee Mound, Tippecanoe Co, In. She went immediately to the home of Hugh Meharry and engaged in the work of domestic and learned the art of cooking and housekeeping as is done in every well ordered home in Indiana. Henry Mitchell, brother of John, emigrated to America about 1860 and landed at Delavan Co, Wisconsin from thence he came to Shawnee Mound and marr. Jane Byrnes Hawthorn, widow of John Hawthorn and mother of George B. and Jesse M. Hawthorn. On May 24, 1864, Jane Hawthorn Mitchell died and left Henry Mitchell with two small boys 12 and 10, in hand. In the fall of 1864 he decided to find another helpmate and he chose for his second wife, Jane Smith, then about 22 and the subject of this obituary. They continued to live on the old homestead at Shawnee Mound where they took an interest in the welfare of the community and Church work, both becoming members of Shawnee Church. In the Spring of 1867, under the influence of the Francis' and Greenburgs, they were induced to buy the farm just E. of them then known as the community farm, owned by Dan Sigler, Prairie Township, Warren County. Here they took up the duties of pioneer life on March 1, 1867 with George and Jesse Hawthorn, orphan boys in their home. Many, many were the hardships and privations of the pioneers in those days. Rainsville was the nearest postoffice. Attica the best and nearest market. College Corner the nearest place where Church and Sun. School were held. Marshfield and Danville the nearest place to get coal. By and by the Lake Erie & Wester RR was built. Also the CE & I crossing at a point where the beautiful town of Hoopston now stands. Boswell, Ambia, and Talbot were soon located and then the Grand Prairie began to blossom and is now one of the garden spots of the state and all these things have been produced since Jane Mitchell landed in Prairie township. The following children have come into this home: Archie Mitchell, born Sept 8, 18676; died Dec 3, 1912. Will Mitchell of Waveland, born April 15, 1871. Mary Henry of Waveland, born April 16, 1868. George Mitchell of Hoopston, Ill, born Aug 10, 1873. Maggie, born Sept 22, 1878, died Dec 23, 1911; and last, John, born Sept 9, 1881 who has lived with his mother and will be the one to miss her the most. Henry Mitchell passed on Oct 9, 1885 and left her a widow with the care of six children on her hands. She also has 13 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren to mourn her loss. About 1870 a new school house was built on the David Crawford land, W. of the community farm now owned by his daughter, Jessie Crawford Butler and under the influence of Rev. David Crawford and Will T. Evans, a Sun. School and Church were established in said school house. Religious revivals were here held and it was named Prairie Chapel. This was the place where all the pioneers worshipped and here where the society originated that finally became Locust Grove. Here in this city of the dead lie the remains of her husband and also the majority of all the pioneer neighbors. And now with loving hands her neighbors, friends and children lay her body away, committing her soul to God who gave it*
