Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger March 30, 1876 GALLIA Gallia county is troubled with the wheat fly thus early. The Ohio Valley Medical Association meets at Gallipolis, April 5. The wife of Congressman Vance, of Gallipolis, gave birth to a boy on Sunday. The wheat crop throughout this county is reported to be in an excellent condition. J. C. Wood pays Gallipolis thirty-five dollars a year for the privilege of ferrying the river at that place. The recent revival meetings, at Westerman, resulted in seventy accessions to the church, and ninety conversions. James W. Erwin was found guilty of murder in the second degree at the present session of the Common Pleas of this county. Valentine Switzer, an old and esteemed resident of Addison township, recently died. He served as county commissioner during several terms. Certificates to teach were granted to twelve out of twenty-seven applicants before the Board of Examiners, of this county, at their last meeting. Charles Adkins, who was sent last fall to the Penitentiary for participation in the robbery of Mr. Reuben Rice, in Guyan township, died in that institution recently of small-pox. Capt. Fred. Ford and Malin H. Rodgers, the farmer for bulls, and the latter for boilers, have been appointed United States Inspectors for the new District, with headquarters in Gallipolis.

How long is the forseeable future? I have 8", 5 1/4" floppies and now they are not making drives for these disks. My latest computer, a Gateway, has no floppy disk drive at all. I have 7" & 10" reel to reel tapes but no tape player that will accept them. Lucky for me I rerecorded most of the material on newer formats that now can be carried forward, but again how long before I will have to do it all over again. CDs & DVDs are changing as well. We now have burners that can use the new double layer DVDs. As of now, the burners will read the older disks but for how long will they be backwards compatible? I think Dick Eastman is right when he says to plan on rerecording every five years if you want to have a player to read the data you have. The formats are indeed important to remember as they also keep changing. To sum it up us genealogist will have to keep informed about the new technology and rerecord before it's too late to do so. Progress is fine but it sure keeps us working hard to keep up with it. The Library of Congress found that most of the books and papers made with wood pulp are disintegrating on their shelves. They are busy replacing and copying but again what about compatibility? The only thing that has remained constant is paper files. But the paper we have been using (made from wood pulp) is not going to last. When I worked at the Government Printing Office we were instructed by the Library of Congress to print their material on 100% rag bond paper. The rag paper will last indefinitely and the ink used will also last for a long time. The rag bond paper is expensive but if you want the files to last then it is what must be used. Of course, how you store the files is also a problem. Every thing we use should be archival quality if the data is important. Tom Powell

Hi Ginny, You mention a James Young in Gallia. Do you have any information on a Robert Young? He was Chloe Sisson Case's (Giles' mother) 2nd husband (her 3rd husband was Phineas Mathews). They ONLY mention I have of him, is his marriage to Chloe in 1831 in Meigs County. Nothing before, nothing after.... no burial, NOTHING. At one point, I found reference to a Robert Young (in southeastern OH) who fought in the Rev.War. That could have been him - her first husband was about 15 years her senior , and Phineas was 30+ years her senior. So it is conceivable that her 2nd husband was old enough to have served in the Rev. War.

If you have microsoft word, instead of just hitting the save button and naming the file as a .doc file, go to file at the top left corner, then save as, and at the bottom of the save screen will be a menu where you can choose to save in several different formats, RTF being one of them. I assume the other major word processors give a similar option. On the genealogy programs, when you generate a descendant or ancestor report, it will ask if you want to print or save, and usually give format options.

I agree with the need to preserve your genealogy research in a form that will continue to be "readable" for the forseeable future. CD, DVD, and portable magnetic storage are all good state of the art techniques, but we also need to address the format those records are saved in. Current genealogy programs are capable of generating a report that contains all the info in the database you are working with, including notes, sources, photos, current addresses, etc. Many of the programs are capable of saving those reports in PDF or RTF format. Either would be a good format to save your data in. The PDF reader, while evolving steadily, is freely available to all, and works very well. The RTF format can be opened by many word processors, especially the major ones, and is easy to work with. Gedcom files should also be used, for entering or re-entering data into a genealogy program. Like most formats, Gedcom is evolving, so data should be reformatted to the latest version at least every two or three years. Someone might have a legacy edition of a genealogy program that will load and read old data, but is is better to update it whenever you update your software. JPG and TIF are two good formats for saving images, as they are standards that most photo programs can handle. While working on "The History of Lawrence County, Vol. 2", our publisher asked that all stories be saved and submitted in the RTF format, and the photos in TIF. Everything was sent to the publisher on CD's Donald R.

RTF stands for "rich text format". Saving a document in this form generally makes it readable in a word processing programs. If you have Microsoft Word, click "file save as" and then choose the filetype drop down and you should see an RTF or Rich Text Format option.

From "'"The Annals of Fort Lee" In Dec. 1791 Daniel Boone awarded government contract to deliver supplies to the Militia for defense of the western frontier of Virginia. Roy Bird Cook stated on March 4, 1792, John Bing and George Fitzwater signed a reciept to Boone for sixty pounds of powder and 2 Pegggs of lead espooused to be 3010 pounds Which they promised to delivier to Col George Stump on the South Branch of the Potomac for the use of Col. Cornelius Bogard's troops.On November 16 1790 James Young, father of Martha Young Bing, filed a will in Augusta Co. VA In it he names all his children including the spouses if the child is female. Hope these help some of you. Ginny

Stolen St. Tammany archives recovered Ex-clerk's office worker arrested Thursday, March 31, 2005 By Meghan Gordon and Paul Rioux St. Tammany bureau Calling it a boon to genealogists and Civil War historians, St. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court Malise Prieto announced Wednesday the recovery of hundreds of stolen 19th century records that document many aspects of life in the parish's early days. The documents were found in a four-drawer file cabinet at the home of Bethel Marie Bradley, a Covington woman who died last month. Her ex-husband, Thomas Todd Valois, a former employee in the clerk's office, was arrested Wednesday after he admitted stealing the records more than 10 years ago, authorities said. Among the stacks of fragile papers were original maps of the parish, census figures and election results and documents with the signature of John Wharton Collins, who founded Covington in 1813. An attorney for the estate of Bradley, who died Feb. 28, notified Prieto about the discovery of the documents last week, and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office began an investigation. Detectives focused on Valois, 39, after learning he is Bradley's ex-husband and that he had worked as an archivist for the clerk's office before Prieto was elected, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman James Hartman said. When questioned by detectives, Valois confessed to taking the documents while he was in charge of the archives from 1988 to 1993, Hartman said. He was booked Wednesday on warrants for possession of stolen property and injuring public records. Valois, an amateur historian who wrote a column on parish history for The Times-Picayune's St. Tammany edition in the early 1990s, told detectives he stole the documents as references for his historical writings, Hartman said. In one of his "Backward Glance" columns, Valois wrote reverently about the clerk's archives in 1991, calling them a "little-known treasure" that should be "retained and constantly improved." Valois, who lives at 432 N. Columbia St. in Covington, was being held in the parish jail in Covington, where his bond had not been set late Wednesday afternoon. Because the documents are deemed to be worth more than $500, the possession of stolen property charge is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine, Hartman said. The statutes of limitations for theft and malfeasance in office have expired, preventing detectives from booking Valois on those charges, Hartman said. Prieto said that once detectives turn the records back over to the clerk's office, her archival staff will have the long task of determining how the haphazardly filed records fit into the existing collection. She said she couldn't divine a reason why snippets of some records were stolen, as opposed to entire files. "That's the hard part, to figure out where it all came from," she said. "Every aspect of our records has been touched or taken." Prieto said she considered the most significant documents among the stack -- for both historical and personal reasons -- to be the original will and succession of New Orleans lawyer Horace L. Hunley, who financed and helped build the earliest submarines in the Civil War and died in one that failed to surface during a test dive. After crews recovered it, the CSS Hunley on Feb. 17, 1864, be! came the first submarine to sink another vessel. For years, a local researcher hounded Prieto about the missing records, even accusing Prieto of stealing them because one of her ancestors owed Hunley money. It was the first thing to come to Prieto's mind when the file cabinet surfaced. "I said, 'Wait a minute. I want to see one thing,' " she said. Before giving the boxes to sheriff's investigators, she flipped to find to the Hunley file, scanning it until she found a debt listed simply as "Owed by Prieto -- 5,000 Confederate dollars, valued at $500," she said, explaining that it must refer to one of her family's first settlers in the region. Prieto said Valois could have reaped a hefty profit by selling the Hunley records on the black market, which leads her to believe he didn't steal them for monetary gain. "I think he, in a twisted sort of way, was taking care of them," she said. Robin Leckbee, a conservator who now supervises the office's oldest collection, used a magnifying glass Wednesday to read documents signed by hand in elaborate script. Though unaware of the file cabinet's full inventory, she pointed to several papers that shed light on St. Tammany's past: Be Well, Do Good Work , Keep In Touch --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
