Hi Everyone, In case there are any new subscribers here, just a brief run down of what my entries are. I receive 2 newspapers weekly from Clark Co. Wisconsin (I live in CA). Each has an Old Items section which lists many many names. Because of copyright infringements, I type some information from these and mail them to the list in hope they will help someone find some information on their family. Take care! Kathy STANLEY REPUBLICAN dated April 12, 2001 70 YEARS AGO (April 10, 1931) Kean Hardware Company is having a closing out sale. The business was started in 1896 by David J. Kean who came here from Cadott. 50 YEARS AGO (April 12, 1951) Janice Witt was Stanley High's rep in a contest by the Daughters of the American legion. In this issue, there is a lot of old info that does not contain names. As much as I would like to send it all out, I just do not have the time. My apologies.
