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. Forgive me if you find typos, I'm only human :-) Take care! Kathy THORP COURIER dated February 21, 2001 OLD INFO..... 100 YEARS AGO... Jos. Sheblak sold a section of land to Simon Segon.
