Fellow genealogists:
On Sunday, during the 24 hours before I was scheduled to leave for a few
days, my Internet Service Provider decided to make some changes to its
server and the way members send and receive mail. I had everything
scheduled to go out daily in my absence and sent a backup copy of items to
Connie Shott in case of difficulty. At 8 AM Monday morning I called my ISP
and expressed concern because everything was supposed to be completed by 6
AM but I wasn't functional. I was advised the problem was at their end and
very soon all problems would be resolved and everything should come in and
go out in my absence. So I left.
To make a long story short, whatever changes were made did not affect my
computer and nothing went out on schedule. So Connie kindly sent the items
to the list. And when I came home and called the ISP, they got me going
again and said it would not be a problem to stop the distribution of items
to the IN-South-Central that had been sitting in the outbox waiting to go
out daily since Monday. But no sooner had they said that then everything
flew away in a heartbeat.
My humble apologies. Hopefully, this won't happen again.

OVERCOME
By Heat Was Southeastern Fireman Yesterday at Giberson Yards
Raymond Pace, a Southeastern fireman, was taken suddenly ill yesterday
afternoon while on is engine at the Giberson yards.
The engine was attached to a caboose and Pace was rushed to the city and
taken to the office of Dr. Simpson, one of the company's surgeons, who found
him suffering from cramps, probably due to excessive heat. He is some
better today, but his condition was critical for a time.

White River and White Creek overflowed the bottoms, and the rains Sunday
night and Monday caused them to rise rapidly, and by Tuesday night the river
was the largest known for years, doing great damage to stock, fencing and
crops that had not been gathered yet, washing out the railroad bridge across
Indian Creek on the Seymour, Cortland and Freetown gravel road and washing
the roadbed considerably. Honeytown, with all its inhabitants, was housed
up for three days and nights. Some living on lower Canal Street were
compelled to move upstairs. The Hummer, after reading everything about the
house, spent the remainder of the time on his couch. Navigation was
rendered impossible except by boats. The boys enjoyed themselves by
slipping upon rabbits that had taken refuge in fence cracks, stumps and
logs, some killed as many as 58 in one day. This we regard as being very
wrong.

Herman passed her 72nd year of this life and in honor of the event Joe C.
Goss and wife gave a dinner and called on their neighbors to come in and eat
to the old lady's health. Of course we were there with our usual good
appetite, as was Mrs. Gruel also. The general wish was that Mrs. Herman
might live to enjoy many more such pleasant birthdays.

TONY ANDIS, 9, DIES SUDDENLY FRIDAY
Final rites were held Monday afternoon at Haverly Mortuary in Mitchell for
Tony Andis, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Andis of Mitchell. The
youth died suddenly Friday afternoon at Bedford Hospital after being
stricken during the night Thursday.
Services were conducted by Rev. Martin Patton, pastor of the First Church of
the Nazarene in Mitchell. Burial was in Mitchell Cemetery.
An autopsy was performed to determine cause of death. A severe virus
infection was termed the cause of death. Tony had been injured in an
accident a couple of years ago and his spleen was removed at that time.
The boy's father, a driver for a moving van company, was enroute to
Evansville. He was notified through state police channels and arrived in
Bedford just before the boy's death.
Born Anthony David Andis on September 21, 1954, he was a son of David
Sherman and Mary Lois (Jones) Andis. He was a third-grade student at
Emerson Elementary School in Mitchell.
Surviving with the parents are two sisters, Sherry Rose and Sheila Diana,
and one brother, Danny Ray, all at home; the paternal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert Andis, Route 1, Paoli; and maternal grandmother, Mrs. Ben Jones
of Mitchell.
