Hello Lani: Thank you for your response, Yes I have been to the Plainfield library also. My Father was from Brownsburg and we still have relatives there. The reason I am trying so hard to find this article is that Philomen Phillips is my brick wall. The article said in the following weeks newspaper ( must have been a weekly) they would publish a follow-up on the descendants. In the state library they did not have the Brownsburg paper for 1914. I was hoping that someone might have access to the Vernon Banner for that period. I know that Scottsburg had a good paper as I have found a great article in 1916 about the murder of Ancil Phillips.

Belleville, Clayton and Brownsburg are all Hendricks County towns. I did forward your posting to Susan Carter, my favorite genealogical/historical librarian. The Plainfield Public Library has a great deal of genealogical info for Hendricks County. This county is adjacent and to the west of Marion County which would have Indianapolis. I saw your second posting that said you had been to the state lib. Did you notice in the microfilm veiwing room that there were ring binders on the one table in the middle of the room? One of those binders has a by county listing of which newspapers cover communities in that county. By 1913 the Scottsburg paper would have had that kind of chattty newspaper clipping & one of the family members was from Scott Co. However, if it was that relative who submitted the info to the newspaper I believe that they would have identified their town or "outside of such and such town". I doubt that the Madison papers would have carried a Scott County article as I have not been able to find obituaries for Scott county people in Madison paper during that time frame. The Indianapolis News was the evening paper and I think had/has more "local color" type of articles rather than the morning Indianapolis News. I am at home & have not looked up "The Flyer" to see when they started to see if it was around in 1913. I will let you know when I hear from Susan. On another approach to researching this, do you know the church affiliation of this family, as many of the mainstream churches from that era are still here and active. You might be able to find info in old church directories, photos etc. Or what about school year books, or those find your class mates sites. bye for now, Lani
