Can someone please tell me where and how to see old back issues of the Clarksville newspaper? Thanks, Louise Hannon Plano, TX

Louise, You can e-mail the Clarksville Times at ctimes@neto.com I am sure Ben Black of the Times can give you a better answer than I can. Also Sharon here on the board and a officer for the RRCGS, can probably tell you more about it. I have talked with Ben several times over the last few years and still not know just what he has on file at his location. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. I am setting here watching the ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. I have been there once in 1999 and observed the changing of the guard with great pride. Also found the grave of Audie Murphy there. His is a simple white cross like all the ones of more recent years. It is next to a sidewalk just across the street from where the bus let us off for the Tomb of the Unknown soldier and changing of the guard. We were told then, that with today's DNA technology, there are no longer any soldiers that are "unknown". The announcer for Fox said the first soldier was buried there in 1864 but did not explain why, which is a interesting story. Robert E Lee's old home on the hill is a beautiful place. Also the building that has the steps at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, is not near as big as I had thought it would be. It appeared to me to be mostly a few rooms for the changing of the guard soldiers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jlhannon" <jlhannon@flash.net> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 8:35 AM Subject: [TXREDRIV] Clarksville Newspaper > Can someone please tell me where and how to see old back issues of the Clarksville newspaper? > > Thanks, > Louise Hannon > Plano, TX > > > > ==== TXREDRIV Mailing List ==== > > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >

Jim, What a wonderful site to see is Arlington National Cemetery. I was there in 1984. I have wanted to go back many times since and will some day. It is a beautiful place with such a history. I can remember standing at JFK's burial site, touring my hero's home, Robert E. Lee, and standing in complete silence as the changing of the guard took place. What a wonderful day. Since then I have done more research on the cemetery and there are so many more burials and monuments that I would love to see. I am surprised to hear they didn't tell a little of the reason why it is a cemetery today. That story in itself is quite a piece of history. There is a segment in Ken Burns' Civil War documentary that tells the story in a some detail. One man's anger and revenge turned into the greatest memorial in America's history, IMHO. I have also been to the fairly new D/FW National Cemetery. We buried my uncle Garth Wallace Slate, a Bagwell native and former WWII POW, there last spring. It is not quite the feel of Arlington, but it is beginning to take it's own personality and shape. I am proud to say I have family buried there. Hope everyone is safe and had a wonderful weekend...
