Hi, I recently visited the Greencastle Public Library and in their historical room (Cyril Johnson) located an index of names that appeared in early newspapers. The index had a summary of the articles in which the name appeared. The April 14, 1858 edition of the "Putnam Republican Banner" listed on page 4 the following article (summary) which I thought many people might find of interest. "At a meeting of the surviving soldiers of the war of 1812 living in Putnam Co. was held on the 27th of March, 1858 at Greencastle. Col. Alexander S. Farrow was called to the chair and Judge Joseph Farley appointed Sec. Those present were: Joseph Denny, William Cooper, Elisha W. Fulton, Eli Brackney, Peter W. Applegate, Jesse Jones, John W.Jones, William Torr, Daniel Welker, George Black, Daniel Harrah, David Eller, Joseph Collier, Joseph F. Farley, Samuel Taylor, John Standiford, Alexander S. Farrow, Hugh Reat, Isaac Mahan, William Atherton. The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain the names of all surving soldiers of the war of 1812 residing in Putnam Co., Ind. In addition to those above the following names are believed to include the entire number. Isaac Peck, Elijah Wilkinson, Elza Hill, Thomas Boswell, George Priest, John C. Wingate, John Allen, Eli Tarbottom, Charles Hunter, James Swinford, Lazarus Tilley, John C. Seller, Thomas Gilmore, Lenox M. Knight, Noah Harris, Thomas Lemon, John Cotton, Richard Bowen, James Shields, John F. Seller, Simpson Harris, Joseph Albin, John Reel, Henry Waln, Alexander Wilson, Jacob McVey, John F. Gilkey, William Stokes, Willima McElroy, Archibold Cooper, Robert Palmer, Henry Mills, George Justice, Alexander Greenlee, Jacob Pickett, Michael Moser, Thomas Tiffin, Robert Miller, James Torr, Scady Chandler, Daniel Chadd, Joseph Dunkin, William King, Joseph Lasley, James Gordon, Lewis Shell, John Boswell, Samuel Emerson and William Aldridge." I have taken the liberty of printing the names of the list in column form. This was taken from the transcripted index summary and not from the microfilm at DePauw University. Sorry for any transcription errors. Happy Hunting, Lani Researching Clay/Putnam Co. families: Allen, Boyd, Earp/Arp, Hill, Mace/Maze, Morgan, Parker, Pollom/Palm, Rush, Sanders, Williams.

----- Original Message ----- From: Gipp31@aol.com To: SharonBryant@worldnet.att.net Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 5:00 PM Subject: Old Book Dear Mrs. Bryant, I live in Indianapolis and I have came into possesion of an old textbook named, "Youth's History Of The United States In Verse." It was printed in 1888 by Carlon and Hollenbeck, Printers and Binders of Indianapolis. Inside the front cover the name, Katie Sellers Putnamville, Ind. is written. The word Putnamville has been scratched out, but is still legible. Right below that the name Katie Alice Sellers, 407 E. Hannah St. Greencastle is written.. There are a couple other names and dates written elsewhere in th book, but they are illegible. If any of your members are researching the Sellers name, I would be willing to give it to them if they can prove their relationship tp Katie. I am willing to do this, because I too am a amatuer geneaologist and I would be estatic to get a chance to recieve a document like this. If you could post this message on your web site, some one might be interested. Please feel free to contact if you have any questions. Dick Whitaker GIPP31@ao;.com

I got this from the Kansas City Mailing List and just had to share it. It speaks for our ancestors, us, and our descendants. ONE........................ As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, We became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith. As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes, We become one people. We are One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people We are The Power of One. We are United. We are America. ==== KansasCity Mailing List ==== USGENWEB SEARCH ARCHIVES http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm
