Hi Dana,

Is there any more on the mail coach robbery? My gg-grma lived in Independence at that time. The family name was CASE. Mother Sarah Ellen, dau also Sarah Ellen, & son Perry. About that time Mother Sarah married a WYATT, & they had dau Mary. If you run across any of those names I would be most interested. I would pay you to copy the newspaper & send it to me.

Thanks so much.
