Mary Evans Stratton is still in the index, but gives a "page not found" error. I don't know how to find old images on the internet. Where are those Chinese when we need them! The index did give the source, the Ladoga Leader, April 30, 1897.

I have probably 99 + % of the bios, newspaper clippings, obits, etc from the three web sites in my own Family Tree Maker BUT OF COURSE ............ as I was cleaning off the "E"s I lost two and didn't have 'em in my FTM. I'm HOPING (probably against hope) that someone out there has 'em. They are: Mary Evans Stratton Sarah Evans Durham If anyone is a better techy than I am there could be an old storage somewhere on the web and perhaps they'd be on that As I said, HELP, HELP :) Hoping someone can save me

When I googled "Council Bluffs, Indiana" -- without the quotes -- all I got was a UFO report which from internal evidence (mention of I-29) seems to be intending Council Bluffs, Iowa. I'm so sorry to hear about the flooding. It's been a wet year for lots of folks who do not normally flood, I suspect. My sympathies for the lost genealogy. Me, too -- but it was water leaking in from above in my case. Papers had been transferred to a part of the barn where "of course" they'd be perfectly safe! Hmmm.

The Situation *Source: Scrapbook of Chester Peffley of Ladoga, (Montgomery County) Indiana 1890-1916 p 20 Let Elders rejoice, let Deacons dance, Let church officers laugh and prance; Now praise the Lord and be ye merry For you got a soon for Samuel Sperry Christians' whiskey will hurt no man; Drink it freely, drink all you can; Elders and Deacons gave us the saloon; Boosted the town, gave us a boom. You farmers now can come to town, Temperance cranks have been put down; You now can trade and call on Sperry, And take a nip of Tom & Jerry You need not still to Roachdale go; Our business men have made it so; That you can get your bitters now, And trade at home without a row. Wingert and Myers went out for game, Myers said, "You hold, and I'll skin the same." Baily took hold and sawed with Jim While Myers went out and worked his chin. Dr. Peacock "legged" for whiskey men, He signed men off again and again. When asked why he mixed in the matter He said it was for bread & butter. Elder Batman 'servant of God," Rode through mud and tramped the sod; Wore out his buggy, drove hard his cob, To get a saloon for Frazier, the Bob. "For God's sake men, save us the town," The Elder exclaimed, as he went around; "Give Bob a bar, thus save the town," The men so foul the court turned down. Elder Ashby superintends The Sunday School also commends Licensed whiskey for Sunday school boys, Sunday School whiskey never destroys. Edgar Ashby and Deacon Brown Want the saloon to save the town, Improve the morals, build up the church, Keep Sunday Schools out of the lurch. Now, my dear friends, can you not see Licensed saloons have sanctity; These holy men have heads that are level, They are too wise to serve the Devil. Christians' whiskey will hurt no man, Drink it freely, drink all you can; Elders and Deacons gave us the booze, The Devil will give them their dues. The hardware man voted with Moore, They worked to get us a whiskey store; He is supposed to have some sense, But tries to get both sides of the fence. He tells the farmer he wants no saloon, But takes the farmer for a loon; For out he goes to sign men off He gets his men. Farmers are soft. Jim goes to church upon Sunday, Works for the saloon upon Monday; Legislates for temperance laws, Helps saloon men and their cause. Now, my dear friends, I raise the query, Are these men morally better than Sperry? They built the den he sells grog in Are they not equal with him in sin? In the last day, when Samuels in Hell Will not these men be with him as well; Or, will they say, when Judgment's in session "My dear Lord it's a political question. Now, farewell friends Good night, I'll kiss you There'll be hot stuff In the next issue. Jim L. Moore *

Don't think this is the one - he was born in 1893 - probably his brother, Morris Wesley Hirshburg took the Gershwin picture as (other than when he was off to war in 1918, he was photographer here from at least 1910-1930 and possibly longer which would be in the Gershwin time frame. Their father, John Morris Hirshburg was also a photographer but he went back to Richmond Indiana and died reasonably young in 1914. Morris died in Greencastle Indiana and is buried there -- I could see if I could get his obituary tomorrow when I go get your Pefley stuff.
