At one time, Jean Wallis, was doing a weekly column that was sort of a Genealogy & Historical combination for the paper. I am not sure if she is still doing that or not since I move from Highland County about three years ago. Also, many of the local (town) communities still do write-ups about their areas that is a tradition that has gone back about 100 years in the county. They usually tell of who came to visit who and anniversaries & birthdays being celebrated in their areas. If you wish to get in contact with them to find out for sure: Newspaper Address: Times-Gazette 209 South High Street Hillsboro, OH 45133 Phone: 1-937-393-3456 Rinda -------Original Message------- From: ann davis Date: Sunday, November 25, 2001 01:18:39 To: OHHIGHLA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Fw: [OHHIGHLA-L] Hillsboro News Paper I'm interested in the reply to this question too.

As a resident of Hillsboro, OH, I can tell you that Jean Wallis is STILL writing occasionally for the 'Times-Gazette' newspaper. Fact is, her periodic column was the original reason for my subscribing to the newspaper, published 6 days a week, 50 cent per day, from 12-18 pages in its entirety. Now I am kinda hooked on the small-town reading. The copy dutifully arrives in my country mailbox on the same day as published. I do NOT save the newspapers, however, so have no archive. Referencing the original question... >Does the Times-Gazette in Hillsboro have a genealogy column?> --did you have any specific need?
