Well folks, thus ends the year 1885 in Ludlow and nearby towns. Hope you all have enjoyed that look back at the people and doings of the area as much as I have. I don't have many papers from 1886, 87 or 88, but have almost all from '89 which I am working on now. So stay tuned. I'm sure some of you have found some items humorous, some brutal and some shocking in their political uncorrectness, according to the customs of TODAY. Some I almost didn't include but decided they were important at the time, and that's the way they wrote about them, and if we want to get the full picture we need to see it "warts and all."

Thank you Ruth for your wonderful entries. I know how much time and organization it takes to get these done - they are fabric of our ancestors lives.
