Subject: [KYJP] Calloway County - Early Newspaper Snippets - Continued

My friends -

Today, we are moving back over to Calloway County to review more early
newspaper snippets. Today's group covers the 1906-1910 time frame.

These snippets can contain information on a wide variety of subjects,
covering such things as visitation notices, death notices, birth
announcements, obituaries(and there is a difference between a "death
notice" and an "obituary"), criminal activities, court cases and on and on.
Sometimes the snippets can contain very valuable genealogical clues, while
in other cases, they merely give us a glimpse back into an earlier time.

Subscribers to the JP and Calloway lists can request the text from a
snippet shown in the listing below by sending a request to me. As is usual,
I would ask that no more than three (3) snippets be requested, as some of
them are lengthy. And your continuing assistance in not resending this
entire message back to me with the request is appreciated.

As an aside, and a bit of administratavia, I may need to remind us again
that list guidelines prohibit the posting of virus warnings to any list
that I host. There was an attempt made today to post one, but it had
incorrect addressing on it and bounced to me directly. As I have said
before, if anyone has a concern that is so serious about a virus problem,
send those concerns to me directly and I will investigate. If the situation
warrants a posting, I will make it myself.

Also, list guidelines ask that we avoid "chat" on the lists. After an
initial inquiry posting is made to the list, subsequent discussions about
the intricate specifics of families and individuals within those families
should be carried on between the interested individuals via private e-mail,
not through the list.

Tomorrow, we will move to Marshall County.
