I have something special this morning. Kay French, the Houston County Librarian, just received 2 1945 issues of "The Houston County Times" newspaper. These two issues are nowhere to be found on the microfilmed rolls of newspapers, so this is a great thing. They were donated to the Houston County Library by a lady that passed away a couple of years ago and had it written into her will that some of her genealogy belongings be donated to the Houston County Library. I am going to post the obituaries and various other news articles to this board and mailing list. I hope that there is something in these issues that will help some of you out there. I was excited by this because of the fact that these two issues had never been microfilmed and was probably thought to be lost. I hope you enjoy.

Mrs. McMillan gives us a glimpse of what it was like around the year 1878 in the Stewart-Houston County area. Today, it only takes about 35 minutes to get from Arlington in Houston County to Dover in Stewart County, where it took her family over 2 days to make this trip by wagon. Article Title: "Mrs. McMillan Tells of Trip to Erin 79 Years Ago" On January 26, 1957, I rounded out 79 years since I came to this place with my parents, Frank and Nancy Ann CONNELL from Dover, Tennessee, the childhood home of my mother who was the daughter of William and Mary Gray SHEMWELL. Two days and one night were spent on the road. The night was spent on the farm of Mr. Reuben BIGGS, who was kind enough to let our party spend the night there. Besides my father and mother was my little brother 2 years old and a baby sister 3 months old and myself five and a half and two teamsters. There was a large stone chimney at one end of the house, with a big fireplace. Mr. BIGGS told my father to get a pile of fence rails near by and keep the fire all night. After making the fire, my father brought the beds from the wagons and put them on the floor. Mother made coffee and prepared supper and breadfast from the food she had prepared in big baskets. The men took turns sleeping and keeping the fires going. We arrived in Uncle Jim CONNELL'S home, here in Arlington, around 4 o'clock on January 26th in a bad storm of sleet. My father had made a cover over the wagon wit quilts. They were so covered with sleet and ice we could hardly get out. My brother had taken cold and died in three weeks. I have only lived one year out of sight of where I first landed here. There are only two people living today that were here when I came. Mrs. Sallie ROBY and Mrs. Ben KNIGHT. All others have gone on waiting for me to make my last trip when I move to my home on high. I have lived in the same house sixty three years so this house like me is getting old.
