This article appeared in The Adamsville Register, Adamsville, Ohio Wednesday 31 July 1935 REVIEW of EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN ADAMSVILLE IN PAST 10 YEARS On 28 July 1925 the present publishers of the Register and their family arrived in Adamsville and took command of the paper.

Incidentally in the way of Improvement in which Adamsville and community have benefited might be mentioned the installing of electricity here, the improvement of all of our roads and streets in the village (with the exception of the Zanesville Road which was improved in 1916) and about one mile of concrete sidewalks laid in Adamsville. all this within the past decade.

We hope the above will prove of interest to our readers in the way of refreshing their memories of the events of the past few years. However we make no guaranty of the accuracy of any of the above details, as they were all written from memory and the memory of the average individual is liable to miscarry over a period of 10 years.
