He was born and lived his entire life in Shelby County, Indiana, and one bunch I am going through mainly deals with Shelby County. While I am unsure of the fate of these clippings and such (would like to give to a historical or genealogical group), I thought the least I could do was post the articles that I can positively date, in case they were of any genealogical interest to anyone. Hope someone finds this information useful. The following item is from the back of an article about a civil war boat. Unfortunately, it has been cut in such a fashion that I cannot name or precisely date the newspaper. However, I beleive it is from the Louisville Courier-Journal sometime in 1962. There are advertisements on the back of the article of two New Albany businesses, and another article in this particular 'batch' that I am going through ranges in dates from 1959 to 1962, and the only other Courier Journal article I can positively identify is dated 1962. I assume my grandfather had a subscription or at least access to that paper at that time. If it is not the Courier Journal, it is a New Albany newspaper. Under "Area Deaths" Scottsburg - Emory H.
