Hello listers, I just received a newspaper article about my ancestor, who in 1954, according to the article, was "breaking up" his home in Webster since he was going to be moving to Fl to retire. The headline reads: "Extra"-President Lincoln Assassinated-Herald, 1865" Everett Gray Breaking Up Home Finds Treasured Old Copies of TIMES and N.Y. Herald Story of "Abe's" Death" It is a very long article basically transcribing the entire front page of the Herald verbatem. Everett's father, Thomas Lyman Gray must have been the one who saved these since he was the one who served in the civil war from Worcester. One interesting thing I noted was that the oldest newspaper in he found was the Webster Times, July 27th, 1861. Thomas would have just turned 14 at that time. What is really interesting is that I never knew the whereabouts of Thomas between 1848 and 1865. I am guessing that the Webster area is probably where is was! Can anyone tell me if the Times, specifically July of 1861 is on microfilm? Maybe this newspaper was saved by Thomas for a special reason? I sure hope so! Also, the person who sent me this article took it from his scrap book and on the back there is a picture of Louise Hanon. It reads "Webster Nurse" "Louise Hanon, 21, of 28 First Street has completed a State Board examination as a registered nurse, etc....It is from May of 1955. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can email it. Thanks, Patti Patti
