My friends - Today, I am beginning a new series for Calloway County, which will examine some of the news items contained in the few extant early newspapers which we have for that county. We will begin in the year 1879 and move forward over a period of about 20 years in this series. If you see a name in the listing below on which you would like to have the contents of the snippet, let me know and I will get that information out to you. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. Because of the additional time element that is required in transcribing some of these snippets, the listing below will not be a long one, but I will, from time to time, continue to offer these, since they really give some life and personality to those who are mentioned within the snippets. You may get one that is one sentence long and says nothing more than the fact that so-and-so has gone away on a vacation. Or, you may get one that has a 75 line full obituary. The last group of these which I offered, from Graves County, were very popular, and I hope that some of you will see a kinsman in the list below. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Calloway County - Early Newspaper Snippets - Part 1 Nix, Jeff Sebrae, Pomp Ely, Pete Anderson, Col.
