Would someone on this email list who lives in the Lexington area be willing to contact The Lexington Progress to see if they can find out what is on the portion of old newspaper that was found. Then email this list to let us know. It would be very helpful to find out the NAMES OF THE FIVE LAWYERS and if there were any DEATH NOTICES. Thank you.
