The University of Kentucky Library has several microfilms of papers, one being the Jackson Times. Don't know if it was still that name in 1946 or not, but you could go to the UK Library web page and you can search for a lot of things on there. Or e-mail the librarian and ask if they have a Breathitt paper that covers June 1946. The library at Jackson, Ky. might even have a microfilm of the newspaper for that time. > [Original Message] > From: <Critterann1369@aol.com> > To: <KYBREATH-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 4/6/04 8:23:48 AM > Subject: [KYBREATH-L] Re: KYBREATH-D Digest V04 #48 > > In a message dated 4/5/2004 10:31:34 PM Eastern Standard Time, > KYBREATH-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: > Hello, > > I just received a DC for Ressie Large, wife of Creight Large and > daughter of Sherman and Jennie Bailey Large.
