Hi everyone!
To start off. I have some good news and I have some bad news.
First the bad news. For those of you who sent me obit items to look up, I hate to say it,
but I totally struck out on all of them. I know. It surprised me, too. I can't
remember the last time this sort of thing happened. I normally do fairly well. I came up
nearly empty handed myself on my own research. Sorry about that.
For those of you that are fishermen will understand this. Sometimes on that big fishing
trip you catch a lot of fish and other times all you're doing is drowning worms.
Either way, it was still nice to get away for the day.
Now for the good news. Starting yesterday on the INALLEN List, I started posting items
from "The Fort Wayne News" beginning with March of 1889. I spent the rest of my
day photocopying pages from that newspaper so I should have enough material to hold me
until next year's trip to Ft. Wayne. :-) I'm also posting what I have saved from
the obit collection since 2006.
That's it for now. Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful.
