The Waveland bank was going strong at that point but was robbed the next year. Don't know about the rest - as far as I know they were all okay. Good question on if same year and it is not -- it goes through 1939 and is pretty much the same thing except a few of the pages are for specific persons (Neal McClain) and a few are store-related "Coal for the House; Coal for the Store" type things. The thing sure won't fit in our scanner -- it's probably 18" long but fairly thin. On 10/11/2013 2:55 PM, S. R.
