My friends - Today we are starting the week with another segment in our series of Calloway County early newspaper snippets. These snippets cover the 1907-1909 time frame. During this time, the "Night Riders" were active in Calloway County, and some of the snippets deal with that situation. These snippets can have subject matter ranging from visitations to birth and death notices, obituaries, crime, and many other areas. Just as a matter of interest, speaking of the "Night Riders", the following individuals were indicted for such activity in Calloway County in April of 1908: Dick Berry, Calvin Berry, Ed Thompson, Kelsie Kirk, Jake Ellis, Billy Williams, Elmus Williams, Van Elkins, Emper Parks, George Parrish, Daniel Ellis, Nial Bogard, Esq., T.M.Jones, Clel Burkeen, Chester Burkeen, Dumas Miller, Hardin Lovett, Carlos Elkins, Joe Bell, Bob Duncan, Josh Cunningham, Turner McCage, Dr. E.R.Blalock, E.P.Jones, Tom McCuiston and Walter McCuiston. Subscribers to the JP and Calloway lists can obtain the text of a snippet from the listing below by sending a request to me. I would again ask that no more than 3 snippets be requested, due to the length of some of these. And, as always, your assistance in not resending this entire message back to me with the request continues to be appreciated. Tomorrow, we will move over to Graves County. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Calloway County - Early Newspaper Snippets - Continued Drinkard, Clint (assassination attempt) Smith Tilford (death) Wells, Charles H.
