The following are a few newspaper clippings from my grandmother's scrapbooks. While no date is on these, the clippings are from 1900-1920's. Grandma cut them from Knox County newspapers and a few others. She was Mabel Mahla Frazier. She lived in Knox County until her marriage, when she moved to Sparta, Ohio, where she lived the remainder of her life.
