Hi all, Thanks to those people who helped me before, but I thought I would be a little more specific on which Shofner family I am looking for. These Shofners lived in Evansville in the late 1800's and their descendants probably still live there. Both John Pusey Shofner and Jacob Joseph Shofner were the children of Jacob Joseph Shofner and Mary Margaret Kelly Williams who lived and died in Smith Mills, Ky, but were from Hardin Co., Ky. John Pusey Shofner (Uncle Pomp) m. Carrie Davis 1. Charles Shofner (b. 1889) 2. Luther Shofner (b. 1894) 3. Mary Shofner m. James A. Downs 4. Lucy Shofner m. George Frank 5. Fanny Shofner m. Bud Lucas 6. Robert Shofner m. Dorothy Kingsbury Jacob Joseph Shofner (Uncle Bud) m. Ella Jordon 1. William Shofner (b.1886) 2. Nell Shofner 3. Sally Shofner 4. Stella Shofner (maybe Louise Shofner b. 1892) If you recognize one of these lines as being your line, you have got a whole bunch of relatives. Bill Attwood Tucson, Arizona

Hi Bill: My Evansville relatives were named Sanderfur. Sorry I haven't been much help. Kathy

First KyHender we have had in ages, what have we missed here. joe

Thank you that seems very generous of you to do obits. There are many of us who only have email not net time to go to a site to browse. I hope it is worked out in our benefit. It should benefit all on the list, I think. joe

Thanks, Donna Stinnett for great info on Henderson Co. newspapers. This is extremely helpful in thinking about obits. DJMurphy79@aol.com

Here is a bit of information about Henderson County newspapers from "The Annals & Scandals of Henderson County" by Maralea Arnett (copyright 1976): Pg. 293 "The first newspaper, the Columbian, was established in 1823 with William R. Abbott as publisher and Josh Cunningham printer. In 1841, Abbott was granted the permission to build a frame printing office on the Public Square, in front and to the right of the courthouse. A regular feature of this weekly newspaper was "Abinadab Letters," written in biblical style and with caustic wit..." (Arnett writes that a copy of the newspaper is preserved in Audubon Museum at John James Aubudon State Park.) "Two papers were printed during the Civil War, the Henderson News and the Reporter. Because of its strong secessionist views, the Reporter suspended publication as 'a sort of military necessity.' Later it was purchased and removed to Sardis, Mississippi. "In 1885, Henderson had three newspapers: the News ... the Journal ... and the Gleaner. Of these three, the Gleaner proved the most permanent." Henderson County Public Libary has microfilm of the Gleaner dating back to at least the 1890s. We know of no microfilm that exists of the other publications mentioned in Arnett's book. I hope this helps. Donna B. Stinnett Features editor The Gleaner

Was there a newspaper operating in Henderson or Union Counties in 1830's? If so, what is the name? Is microfilem, or microfiche available? Thank you. R Barton

O.B. Eakins wife is not at MidContinent Regional library. I have a phone number but have not been able to reach her. Will keep trying. Mary

Helen, >From what Agnes has told me I think it is Mid-Continent Public Library, North Independence Branch, Spring & 24 Highway, Independence, MO 64050. Agnes thinks she is head of the genealogy department. I will call the library Mon. to confirm this. If different I will notify you then--after 10:00 am. CST. Mary

Hi, which library is this--I have been reading with interest about the Eakins and want to compare notes. And I am sure OB's wife probably has e-mail.
