Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
The list mail from Rootsweb has been "upset" ever since they took the sites
down. I've gotten the same notifications about 6 times. It seems to be
better today. I don't think it's your provider either. I was just in NV
and it took two full days for one email to reach me and my mail is through
the University!
Pat
Chuck--
I wanted to let you know that I recently (within the last two days)
completed three databases for Lawrence County. Those databases were
compiled from three sources: Dangerous Diseases 1897-1899; Old Age Pension
Applications 1933-1934; and Insanity Applications 1870-1881. All were
contributed to the Indiana Genealogical Society website and will be
available to members only. It may take a week or so for the databases to
actually appear on line. I didn't know whether or not you might want to
mention this on the Lawrence County website that you work with.
Is the Lawrence County website that you administer part of the usgenweb
websites? I was searching for info about the Lee family of Lawrence County
in the usgenweb Lawrence County website and didn't find much.
I'm leaving town this morning and will be gone for 5 days.

Randi,
I was able to access Ancestry, Findagrave and Rootsweb sites a few minutes
ago. I didn't try to go to a bunch of different pages within the sites,
though.
However, it took this message more than 60 hours to reach me. I received it
at about 9:00pm PDT. This is that problem that I was telling you about a few
weeks ago, in which Time Warner Roadrunner seems to lose or delay messages
at random. I don't know what we can do about this situation, do you?

Hi Chuck,
I don't know if the delay in your receiving a posted message can all be laid
at the feet of Time Warner Roadrunner. Several of the rootsweb pages seem
to still be slow in processing and delivering messages. But, if you had
this issue before the DDoS attack, then it could be at least partially a
Roadrunner issue. If it is, I suspect the issue is between the servers at
Time Warner and the rootsweb (ancestry) servers. I don't know if there is
any way to do anything about that. A few years ago, I had major problems
with rootsweb and Roadrunner because rootsweb was using SORBS as their spam
control, and they were forever blocking Roadrunner as a potential source of
spam even for addresses from which there hadn't been any spam generated;
this was because of the way Roadrunner used it's servers to send out
messages, using those that weren't busy at the time, so there was no way to
control which messages went out from which Roadrunner server.

Mrs. Charles E. Farabee and children of Remington are here visiting home
folks until after the fair. "I have to drop back home," said Mrs. Farabee,
"every chance I get, for there's no place like the old home and no folks
like the old folks at home."
Salem (IN) Democrat, September 11, 1907.

see her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Shrum and (several illegible words) to
attend the fair. Mrs. Hostetter is the wife of Fred M. Hostetter who is
gaining distinction as a lawyer in Evansville.
Fellow genealogists-
It seems that Rootsweb is functional again. During the time that Ancestry
was experiencing problems, some mail sent by me to the IN-South-Central list
never made it through. Today that is the mail you should find in your
mailbox: Scott County, Washington County and Bartholomew County. Although
today you received 15 items, tomorrow it will revert to the standard 5 items
per day or 10 every other day. Hopefully, all the kinks at Ancestry have
been resolved and this won't happen again.

HEAVY LOSS
Caused by Blaze at Scottsburg, Ind., Odd Fellows Lose
Scottsburg, Ind., February 5-Fire early today damaged the Odd Fellows'
Building causing a loss of $25,000. The origin of the fire is unknown.
Scottsburg has only two small, chemical fire engines operated by a volunteer
fire department.
A two-story brick building adjoining the Odd Fellows' building, and owned by
James Dunlevy, a druggist, caught fire and was slightly damaged.
The lower floor of the Odd Fellows' building was occupied by Harned Bros.,
dry goods merchants, and by Charles Stark, grocer. The upper floor was used
by Scottsburg Lodge No. 555 of Odd Fellows. The cost of the building was
approximately $12,5000 with about $11,000 insurance. The stock of Harned
Bros. was valued at approximately $18,000 with $9,000 insurance. Charles
Stark carried $1,000 insurance on a stock of about $2,500. Dunlevy's loss
from water and damage in handling will not exceed $500.

BLOCK HOUSE STILL STANDING
Used by the Government Troops against the Indians in 1813
Scottsburg, Ind., November 28-John Kimberlain (consider Kimberlin a spelling
variant), an octogenarian who died in this county a short time ago, was the
possessor of an interesting collection of relics. Among the articles was an
old flint-lock pistol that was presented to Mr. Kimberlain's father by the
government. His father had fought under General George Rogers Clarke
(consider Clark a spelling variant) in the Indian wars of the Northwest, and
the government, in lieu of the gallant services of Clarke and his men, gave
the soldiers each a tract of land and a pistol. The land ceded to the
soldiers embraced all of what is now Clark County and part of Scott County.
A printed ticket used in the presidential campaign of 1824 was found
reading, "Henry Clay for President." Clay's name is the only one appearing
on the ticket, it being the law in those days that the presidential
candidates were voted for separately. This ticket is in the possession of
Dan V. Gladden of this city who is a grandson of Mr. Kimberlain. Mr.
Gladden has several canes made of a piece of walnut puncheon that his father
took from the first house erected in the county. This house was constructed
by his great grandfather in 1806 and is still standing. Immediately after
the Pigeon Roost massacre in 1813, it was converted into a fort and was
occupied by a company of United States soldiers. Many loopholes in the
sides are yet to be seen though the building is rapidly decaying.

PLUNGES INTO A TUB OF WATER
Scottsburg, Ind., April 30-The explosion of a gasoline stove occurred
yesterday at the residence of John M. Hirshburger while dinner was being
prepared. Miss Mamie Taylor, a young woman residing with the family, was in
the kitchen standing near the stove, and her clothing was saturated with the
flying oil that immediately ignited. As the flames curled about her, she
ran to a tub of water nearby into which she plunged and finally succeeded in
extinguishing the fire. She escaped injury.
Columbus (IN) Daily Democrat, September 2, 1901, p. 3.

the city schools.

NEEDLE IN FOOT
Located by the X-Ray
About five weeks ago Orilla, young daughter of Clint Batton, while playing
at a neighbor's, stepped on something in the carpet that penetrated the
right foot near the heel. There was no perceivable wound left, and the
doctors here were unable to locate the object that could have entered her
foot.
The foot continued painful, and last evening Mrs. Batton took her daughter
to Columbus, and this morning the x-rays were turned on the afflicted member
and deep down in the foot could be plainly seen the butt end of a sewing
needle that had been broken off about three fourths of an inch in length and
was in the foot near the heel. The doctor at Columbus carefully marked the
location of the needle and Mrs. Batton and daughter came home on the 8:48
train.
Drs. Middleton & Bice this afternoon will go to the home of Mr. Batton and
extract the needle. -Ed. Courier.
