There was also a Mr. Glass who worked at Chambers. I haven't finished reading my e-mails or messages yet but I'm betting your grandfather worked there also. What was his name?

> ***SPECIAL NOTE*** Please note that I am not related to any of these people, but have run across several newspaper articles and such that my grandfather collected from the 1950's and 1960's. He was born and lived his entire life in Shelby County, Indiana, and most deal with Shelby County, but there are articles from other papers, too. While I am unsure of the fate of these clippings and such (would like to give to a historical or genealogical group), I thought the least I could do was post the articles that I can positively date, in case they were of any genealogical interest to anyone. Hope someone finds this information useful.

> The following item is from a piece of newspaper, and the way grandad cut it, I'm not real sure just why he saved this one. The newspaper is from Shelbyville Indiana, and it looks like it would have been the Shelbyville Daily or the Shelbyville Daily News. The date of the paper is Friday, July 21, 1944.
