Morning, While extracting the marriages and deaths from a page of the Weekly Messenger I saw some interesting items for reading. Of interest to me, and perhaps you too, is an article about relics found near Fort Ligonier in Pennsylvania, the clock maker Stanislaus Fournier of New Orleans, and an early observance of Thanksgiving on Nov. 26, a trip to the Sandwich Islands, and several others. Neat stuff seeing as it is over 160 years old. I wonder if our newspapers of today will still be around after 50 years! As an exercise in futility I decided to see just how long it would take to scan this large, 18" X 24," page from the Reformed Church newspaper of 1846. Scanning it in four pieces using my 11" X 17" scanner and then piecing them together took me a little over an hour and a half. I leave it up to you find where I "stitched" the four pieces back together. I then heavily massaged the color correction. I must admit that I blurred those areas I was not willing to share. The file is not too large, a little over 8 megabytes, so even those with dial-up modems should be able to download it after a spell. Be forewarned that the dimensions are large so you will have to zoom in and out and scroll around the page to read it all. You can access the file here <http://brethrenarchives.com/newspapers/page.pdf> and I hope you enjoy the reading. Wayne Webb
