    1. [KSLINCOL] A few new things
    2. Hello again, everyone. I added a few new items to the Lincoln GenWeb page today and wanted to pass them on. First two new pages, a history of newspapers in Lincoln County at http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/papers.htm and a bit of information on the Lincoln Carnegie Library at http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/lincoln/library.htm I added a few obituaries that caused me to split some pages in two. Now there are two pages of "L's" and two pages of "S's". New are Sadie Lott, Robert Lawson and Mrs. J.K. Stevenson. I finally posted the rest of the gleanings Laura Gillmore sent me. I had to split the 1880-81 page into an 1880 and 1881 page as well. Laura was hunting through microfilm for news of her Wm. GILLMORE and was kind enough to pick up other gleanings for the page as well. Thanks, Laura! Two of the gems from Laura's bunch, both from 1880 (think of these remarks next time you're looking at the microfilm): Well, Mr. Editor, the Census taker has been around, and it made our heart go pit a-pat to have a lady ask us so many questions, but think we will survive it all, and thank our stars it will be ten years before Uncle Sam can send a lady to our bachelor den on such an errand again. Mrs. ROLLINS, or "Mrs. Enumerator," is going her rounds, counting the children and getting the old maids, bachelors and school marms' ages. Of course, it has to be told. You know they don't like to think it has to be sent "clean" up to Washington, and there they will all learn how old "Eve" is and all the balance of 'em. Awful to contemplate! She is doing the work in good style. Mr. L. F. HOOPS started on the same business Monday. Some of the surnames mentioned are STEINHAUS, ACHTERBERRY, LUTES, DAY, BROWN, REED, BRADBURY, HINDS, HOLCOMB, O'MORRISON, PEAVEY, WINENS, CIPHERS, POTTER CHESHER, PFOFF, GILLMORE, BERRY, BROWN, BRYANT, RAPLEE, TURNBELL, BALL, ROGERS, WILLIAMS, JONES, WEBSTER, SWANK, SCOTT, HARDESTY, JACKSON, RUGGLES, SCHAFER, HARLOW, SUTTON, SAFFORD, MAHONEY, ROLLINS, SKINNER, JOHNSON, RICE, WEBB, RHUL, LAW Tracee
