Does anyone know if there are any surviving issues anywhere of the Ross County Register newspaper? I checked with OHS and it does not appear in their database for the early issues I am interested in from 1869 to 1880. This is what the History of Ross and Highland Counties, Ohio has to say about this paper: "The Ross County Register newspaper was ushered into existence August 24, 1869, by Charles Wilkinson and Fletcher E. Armstrong.

The paper was lively, entertaining and able. It arrived at popularity, nto by slow, toilsome advance, but with a bound, and ever after steadily maintained the position which it so suddently secured. SEveral very clever editorial devoces aided in bringing the Gegister into prominence at the very start, among them the several series of very valuable papers on pioneer hisotory, reminiscences of the early bar, of the old time churches of Chillicothe, the beginning of mercantile business and manufacturing, with contributions from a dozen sources on other topics..."
