Subject: Higbee News, 23 Feb 1928, pt 2 of 3
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2004 22:20:57 -0500


The following are selected articles from a Newspaper titled, "The Higbee
News" which
was issued out of the town of Higbee, in Randolph County, Missouri from the
years 1887
through 1953. The editors were W. H. Welch and his son H. Scott Welch. This
paper covered the Higbee area and also a great deal of
the northeastern part of Howard county. The copyright notice at the end of
this transcript is there for the sole purpose of keeping
this work free to the public, and to ensure that it is not
harvested by a fee-based corporate genealogy site, or published in any
format for profit. If you decide to use the information from
this transcription, PLEASE LIST ME AS THE SOURCE, rather than the paper. My
transcription is another generation removed from the
microfilm, and would thus be a third generation copy of the original paper.
For proper documentation, a researcher should obtain a
photocopy of the microfilm for their own permanent records, and use my
transcript as a guide or index. The microfilm is available
for interlibrary loan through the State Historical Society of Missouri, and
a copy is also on file at the Moberly Public Library,
generously donated by the Higbee Historical Society.
