I am not sure if Sarah is related to me. Do you know who the parents of Sarah Madden Beck are? I am trying to find out if Madden was the maiden name of Sarah or if her full name was Sarah Madden Beck. My gr-gr-gr grandparents were Madden Beck and Rebecca Hatley. In the 1840 Indiana Census they were living in Clark Co. Have you communicated with any of the Hooker family that are still living in the Tazewell Co. and Logan Co., Illinois area? Sarah was b. 1818 in Rowan Co., NC. At the time Rebecca Hatley was married to a man with the last name of Madden. If I could find out if Sarah was a daughter of Rebecca Hatley that would solve a lot of questions. Thank you for replying to my Query.

Scott County, Indiana Indianapolis (Indiana) Sentinel, September 26, 1879, p. 1. SCOTTSBURG Was He Murdered? [Special to the Sentinel] Scottsburg, Indiana, Sept. 25-A well-to-do farmer named Boon Rose, who had been under the influence of liquor for several days, was found dead below Vienna this morning in a ditch alongside of the J. M. and I. Railroad track. No bruises were found on the body, but two terrible gashes were found in his head. One seemed to have been made with a sharp instrument not found on a locomotive or cars. An inquest is being held. The deceased had quite a sum of money when last seen alive.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican, December 16, 1894, p. 12. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Richey of Finley's Knob near Scottsburg, Indiana, have a pair of pet rattlesnakes that they keep in a cage. Neither they nor their children have any fear of the reptiles that they have owned for a year. The other night one of the snakes got out of its cage and crawled into the baby's cradle. It alarmed the child but did it no harm.

Logansport (IN) Pharos-Tribune, January 10, 1899, p. 4. THIRTY MOB MEMBERS ARE KNOWN Indianapolis, Indiana, Jan. 10-Attorney General Taylor has arrived home from Scottsburg where he has been in the effort to apprehend the members of the mob that lynched Marion Tyler, an Indianapolis man, a few weeks ago. Taylor has the names of the entire mob and declares his intention of prosecuting them to the limit of the law. There are 30 of the guilty party and thirty indictments and trials will follow soon. The inquest at Scottsburg adjourned but did not close the investigation, leaving it open indefinitely.

Scott County, Indiana Logansport (IN) Pharos-Tribune, January 17, 1899, p. 2. Mob Suspects Leave the County Scottsburg, Ind., Jan. 17-The first week of the grand jury investigation of the lynching of Marion Tyler closed with the examination of twelve witnesses from this city and Finley Township making 65 in all. Three of the men wanted as witnesses and believed to have been in the mob have left the county. The sheriff is after them, and it is thought he will get service on them.

Scott County, Indiana Racine (WI) Daily Journal, January 18, 1899, p. 6. LYNCHERS NOT INDICTED Special Grant Jury at Scottsburg, Indiana Scottsburg, Ind., January 18-The special grand jury called to investigate the lynching of Marion Tyler in this city December 24, adjourned Tuesday without returning any indictments. The jury filed a written report telling of the work that had been done and concluded with the statement that no evidence could be secured upon which to base indictments. Judge New, who summoned the grand jury in special session, is indignant and says he will continue his efforts to bring the lynchers to punishment. The governor and the attorney general may be appealed to.

Fellow genealogists, Effective immediately, there is a new Rootsweb list for genealogists and historians with an interest in south central Indiana counties including: Brown, Bartholomew, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, Scott and Washington. These counties coincide with the south central district as defined by the Indiana Genealogical Society. The name of the new list is IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL. As you are no doubt aware, many of the same families either lived in various counties in the south central district of Indiana or left descendants who lived in the counties. By having one general list for the south central district, in addition to the individual county lists already in place, it is thought we can combine what we know and enrich the information. With the exception of the INMONROE Rootsweb list for Monroe County, a list that has been active for more than eleven years with more than 45,000 items archived, my contribution to all other counties in the south central district will be sent to the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL list. I plan to share genealogical or historical information with the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL each day. Each item will be documented and the primary county or counties will be noted in order to facilitate recovery of county-relevant information when searching the archives. I hope that you will join me in making the IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL one of the strongest lists on Rootsweb. I hope that you will feel comfortable sharing your research, either what you have done yourself or from documents you may have discovered. Additionally, I hope you will leave queries that may help you make contact with others who are researching the same lines. To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail mail to IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message subject and body. To join IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-D, do the same thing with IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL-D-request@rootsweb.com. For questions about this list, you can contact me directly. Randi Richardson IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL Facilitator and South Central District Director Indiana Genealogical Society
