Cincinnati (OH) Daily Gazette, March 27, 1879, p. 1. NOTE: Other
newspapers indicate the surname is Strauss, not Strouse.
Elder W. H. H. Strouse of the Christian Church, having been expelled for bad
conduct toward four of the female members of his church, was given a new
hearing that is now in progress. There are four separate charges against
him preferred by as many ladies, and if these charges, or even any one of
them, are sustained, Strouse's expulsion from the church is certain, and he
will be criminally prosecuted, it is said, beside. The charges are of too
indecent a character for publication. Strouse denies them as a whole and in
detail.
Indianapolis (IN) Sentinel, March 24, 1879, p. 7. NOTE: At least one
other newspaper published information about this case and spelled the
surname Strouse, not Strauss. It is not known which of these two names is
correct.
CORYDON
The reported trial of Elder W. H. H. Strauss was a little premature.
Charges against him have been preferred before the church by Dr. Flagg, his
late partner in the practice of medicine, also a preacher in the Christian
Church, but it is now stated that the trial has not actually commenced
though the preliminaries have all been arranged, so members of the church
say. This is in the case in which Miss Vaughn is implicated. Strauss has a
good many friends who claim that the charges are the outcrop of jealously on
the part of Dr. Flagg, growing out of Strauss' rivalry of him in the
practice of medicine.
Read All About It: A Review of NewspaperArchive by Randi Richardson
The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) in Indianapolis, in partnership with
NewspaperArchives, has recently made available online 2.5 million digitized
pages from Indiana newspapers dated from 1924 and earlier.
Information available at NewspaperArchive indicates that it is the world's
largest online newspaper archive with 126,000,000 newspapers dating from
1607 to today from 10 countries and all 50 states within the United States.
Each month they reportedly add 2,500,000 newspaper pages. The pages are
searchable with a number of powerful search engines.
Although free access is available from some libraries such as the William H.
Smith Library at the IHS, individual memberships are also available
annually, quarterly or monthly ranging in price from $5.99 for a month to
$71.88 for a year. What a deal, you might think. But before jumping on the
bandwagon, there are a few limitations that historians and genealogists
should strongly consider.
First and foremost is the lack of indexing. For example, there are 10
different newspapers from Boone County, Indiana, dating from 1852 to 1923.
A search for Smith among Boone County newspaper, returned only 333 hits,
many less than expected. All of those hits were from a single decade, the
1890s, and from a single newspaper, the Lebanon Pioneer, leading one to
believe that the indexing for Boone County newspapers might be severely
limited.
To confirm the limitation, a digital image of a single issue of the Lebanon
Pioneer, dated April 13, 1922, was first viewed online at NewspaperArchive,
and three names-Cummings, Nelson and Sanford-were selected from page 3.
Then a separate search was made for each name within the entire collection
of Lebanon newspapers. All the hits returned were from a single decade, the
1890s, and from a single newspaper, the Lebanon Pioneer: Cummings, 1;
Nelson, 80; and Sanford 57. Thus the indexing limitation for Boone County
was confirmed.
With evidence of the indexing limitations in Boone County, there was some
question as to the pervasiveness of the problem across all early Indiana
newspapers. Therefore, all twelve counties in the south central district of
Indiana were evaluated on February 25, 2013. A search was made for the name
Smith in newspapers published in the county seat of each county in the
district. The results are noted below.
Bartholomew County/Columbus-0 hits in a collection of ten newspapers
Brown County/Nashville-no newspapers
Clark County/Jeffersonville-18,868 hits from 12 newspaper among a collection
of 12 newspapers
Crawford County/English-4,916 hits from 2 newspapers among a collection of 2
newspapers
Floyd County/New Albany-6,810 hits from 6 newspapers among a collection of
12 newspapers
Harrison County/Corydon-0 hits among a collection of 3 newspapers
Jackson County/Paoli-0 hits among a collection of 6 newspapers
Lawrence County/Bedford-9,420 hits from 7 newspapers among a collection of
10 newspapers
Monroe County/Bloomington-65 hits from 1 newspaper among a collection of 14
newspapers
Scott County/Scottsburg-no newspapers
Washington County/Salem-227 hits from 6 newspapers in a collection of 11
newspapers
In spite of the apparent pervasiveness of the problem, the availability of
the early Indiana newspapers online at NewspaperArchive is a wonderful
addition to the genealogist's toolbox. If the date of an event is known, it
is possible to access a newspaper within a collection and scan the pages for
a report of the event. And there's always the hope that eventually
NewspaperArchive will finish the index. Until then, caveat emptor.
Hi Randi,
I am so happy that I discovered the IN-South-Central Rootsweb list. Your posts are so interesting and informative. I enjoy reading the articles that you post and very much appreciate the time and effort you spend and your dedication.
Before joining the list, I did not realize that there were online newspaper sources available.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

It was just about this time last year that the IN-South-Central Rootsweb

ubscribed, most of whom are very quiet. So I have to wonder. Is this list
seful to you? Have you found things here relevant to your genealogy? Is
here something missing, something you wish you could see? I'd really like
o have some feedback to make the list the best it can be. Your input would
e most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks.

Count me among those who enjoy and appreciate your efforts. My ancestors (Boling, McClanahan, Rudder) came to Salem and Washington County in the 1840's and it's interesting to read about the lifestyle and times of the area (this from a Los Angeles native). And a bonus to recognize some names once in a while.
Hope you continue, and thanks again,
Jim Hill

Randi,
Notice you have obits from Crawford Co. Are there any on the Dubois family in the book? A large part of the family moved there from Floyd Co about 1870-1880. They are buried in the Milltown and St. Joseph Cemeteries in Crawford.
Thanks,

Forest M. "Pop" Hall, compiler and publisher HISTORIC TREASURES: TRUE TALES
OF DEEDS WITH INTERESTING DATA IN THE LIFE OF BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA
UNIVERSITY AND MONROE COUNTY." 1922, p. 9-14. Republished in 1979 by Ye
Olde Genealogie Shoppe, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Probably the most popular and well known man among the pioneers of Indiana,
and especially Monroe County, was John Ketcham whose titles showed great
honor as he was known as Colonel Ketcham, Judge Ketcham and the Hon. John
Ketcham, as representative in the Legislature-besides being chosen one of
the electors of General Jackson.
Having come from fighting stock and a rather religious family, John Ketcham
showed a character far above the average man in his courage and charitable
deeds; and to him, great credit is due for the prosperous and habitable
condition of our county and, in large part, the State of Indiana.
In the late years of his honorable life, John Ketcham, in his own
characteristic language, wrote a detailed account of his early life as an
Indian fighter and scout, along with a descriptive account of the Indiana
troubles of 1812-13. A copy of which has been preserved by D. W. Ketcham, a
descendant of Col. Ketcham, which we are able to quote as follows:
Settled in 1811
"I propose to give a short history of our Indian troubles of 1812-13," reads
Mr. Ketcham's manuscript, "in that part of the Indiana Territory commonly
called the 'Forks,' situated between Muscatatuck and the Driftwood fork of
White River called by the Indians "Hangonahakqua Sepoc.'
"In April 1811, we settled on Section 14, Township 5 North, Range 4 East.
Said section was made fractional by the Indian boundary line cutting off the
northwest corner.
"The Indians were numerous and friendly in that part of the Territory until
after the Tippecanoe battle which took place November 7, 1911.
Indians Murder Hinton
"The Delaware tribe expressed disapprobation of the battle, and many of the
Indiana left our part of the Territory then, but not all. We enjoyed peace,
but not without fear, until April 7, 1912.
"About two and a half miles above our location there lived three families
together-Hinton, Cox and Reddick. Their horses grazed in what was called
the Cherry Bottom, five or six miles above.
"Hinton started in the morning to get a horse for some purpose but, not
returned that day, his friend went in search of them and ascertained that
their horses were stolen and that Hinton was either murdered or taken
prisoner.
"The circumstances being made known to our neighborhood, we all went in
search of the missing man. When we arrived at the Cherry Bottom, two men
were sent to examine the river shore, the balance were divided so as to
sweep the bottom at one trip through.
"He was found shot through the head, stripped and thrown into the river. We
laid him on a blanket, tied the corners over a pole and started home. Night
overtaking us, we cut forks and raised the corpse out of the reach of
wolves. A proposition was then made to John Ketcham and Noah Wright that if
Ketcham would write a letter and Wright take it to the governor, then at
Charleston, they would be exempt from helping to bring in and bury the
dead-agreed to.
TO BE CONTINUED
I think you have some "bad" dates in this article.
The battle of Tippecanoe was fought Nov. 7, 1811 not 1911.
William Henry Harrison when running for president in 1840 used the slogan "
Tippecanoe and Tyler Too".
Those Typos come back to bite.

What were the approximate dates?
Was it before or after 1850?
Do you know any first names?
The more information you can give will make it easier to help you.
In the index for 1850 census I see Foerster & various spellings mostly in
Pennslyvania & Ohio.

Does anyone have information on the Foerster or Forster (sorry I can't make an umlaut) who came from Bavaria? The Foerster family lived in Dearborn County, Indiana, for a short time, and also for a short time in Hamilton County, Ohio. Then they moved Bartholomew County, Indiana, where they lived in Columbus.
