Sending this msg to all ccs is easier than to try and separate the few
items for counties other than Morgan.
Patty Havens <pndhavens(a)netzero.com> is transcribing the old news items
below and said the other counties that they pertain to could use them on
their county sites.
I pulled Morgan's off and started a page with the items on:

Hi Gloria,
Yes that is what I was hoping for.
I just want to put the info out there.
That was the first newspaper.
I'll send each newspaper separate to you as I transcribe them.
It may be years...:)

FATAL ACCIDENT - Mr Samuel McAdams, a young man familiarly known in this
place and vicinity, having been in fact a resident of the county from his
earliest days, died recently, near Wheeling, Virginia, of tetanus
(lock-jaw) occasioned by his horse falling with him. Of the particulars of
the injury we are not in possession; but such was the extent that he
survived but a short time. He left here a few days before with a drove of
horses; and was then in the full vigor of youthful health -
