The Recapitulation of Local Events for 1872 from the Big Rapids Magnet has just been uploaded to the Newspaper Abstracts site. Stop in and take a look. Until I started typing these old pages - I never realized how really dangerous times were back then. Broken and mangled bones, amputations - we are so fortunate with all the safety procedures today. Hope you connect with a family member in the paper. http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/MI/index.html Jan Cortez Site Coordinator
