John MC DANIEL, who has been helpless with paralysis the past four years, passed
peacefully away, at the home of his daughter, in the east part of town, Tuesday night
at 10:30. The deceased was born in Montgomery County, Kentucky 14 October 1832. He
came to Indiana with his parents when in his early teens, to Montgomery County, where
they located a few miles west of Parkersburg, in which neighborhood he found his wife-
Mary Jane JAMES. After the birth of two children he and the family moved to a farm in
Hendricks County, in about the year 1869, and in the year 1872 he moved to North Salem
and entered into the drug business, which business he remained in there until the fall
of >74 when he moved to Jamestown and took charge of a drug store he purchased here,
in which business he has been engaged in up to the time of his disability excepting
about one year, at which time he disposed of his store, having sold it. Previous to
his sale of the business his store was destroyed by fire. He was the father of eight
children, two of whom survive him- Judson MC DANIEL and Lillie OLIPHANT. He was a
member of the Christian Church for many years. Short services were held at the home
today at 1 o'clock, after which the remains were interred in the FULLEN Cemetery.

News from Kansas
Mr. Editor: As I have been silent for sometime I concluded I would wake up and let you
know that I still existed. We have had excellent crops here this year: wheat and oats were
never known to be better and corn well, you can come out here and help gather the crop if
you want a job. Vegetables are plenty and apples a fair crop, so with corn and bacon,
sauerkraut and sorghum we expect to get thorough the winter. Every thing has been quiet
here since our defeat here last November, republicans and democrats walk arm and arm, eat
out of the same platter and drink out of the same gourd. Now we dont wish to get
political, but as I am an old Boone county boy, and moved from Jamestown when it was
called Jimtown and was known the state over for the scraps and bad whiskey, I feel like
having my own way sometimes.
Well, as I live in Prohibition Kansas and am a strict observer of the law, I dont give
Kansas credit for the whole thing. I claim to have learned a little Prohibition in old
Boone when I was a small boy, that came about this way. I was living with my uncle near
Poplar Grove church and it chanced to be harvest time. One morning my uncle gave me a
written order and a jug and set me a straddle of the old family mare and told me to go to
Jimtown and get the jug filled with whiskey, but I was prohibited from sampling the
contents of that jug on the road home. There was always a question in my mind as to what
my good old uncle had in mind when he told me not to monkey with that jug. He might have
been afraid I would get lopsided and fall off the old mare and break the jug and lose the
contents, or he wanted to establish a streak of prohibition in my mind, anyway prohibition
prevailed and has been with me ever since.
Now, Mr. Editor, with these few remarks and 65 cents to extend my subscription for another
year, I will close for a time.

THE GRIM REAPER
Bertha B. ASHLEY, the eldest daughter of R.T. and Nettie F. ASHLEY, was born March 16,
1887, one and one-half mile south of Jamestown, Hendricks County, Indiana, and died
February 5, 1905 in San Antonio, Texas, aged seventeen summers. She had two sisters,
Ruby V., two years younger, who died August 31, 1890, and Winnie May, aged nine, still
living. She was permitted to round out in its fullness and completeness but one period
known to mankind- having her fourteenth birthday passed a successful examination from
the common schools of the state. A short time previous to this marked the consumation
(sic) of the most important event of her life, giving her tender and loving heart to
the Savior and dedicating her future life to his service.
She was possessed of a sweet and loving disposition making many true and lasting
friendships wherever she had been privilege to make her home. These consisted not only
of girls her own age but she delighted to number among them many of more mature years.
This was true as to the friendships formed near the home of her early child-hood also
of Jamestown, New Brunswick, Lebanon and even her brief stay in far away San Antonio.
A girl of high ideals and noble ambitions, loving and praising goodness where ever
manifested and frowning upon all forms of evil. Especially grieved at the evil of
intemperance and the cigarette habit admonishing her little boy cousin to abstain from
the evil affects of both saying that she would be sorry to know that a cousin of hers
had formed the pernicious cigarette habit.
She was endowed in pre eminent degree of the attribute of unselfishness, saying in her
last hours when she called to us to her bedside and said that her greatest regret was
that her loved ones had to bear the burden and grief away from home and friends, that
she had realized her condition for 10 long months that she would love to have lived to
her eighteenth year, as she thought that the great age of a girls life, but it was
Gods will. That we receive the reward for our good deeds and intentions.
Earth has lost a flower of sweetest fragrance
Heaven has gained a jewel.
The remains arrived at Jamestown on the midnight train Wednesday night and was taken
to the home of Mrs. Nannie Austin where they remained till 2 oclock yesterday
afternoon, at which hour they were taken to the Christian church where the funeral
services were held, Rev. L. E. BROWN, of Lebanon, officiating Interment in Odd Fellows

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for all of the email's with sugesstions of where my "little treasure" should
go. I was not expecting so many, many requests. I have selected Larry Young to receive
the hardcopies of the obituaries that I have copied off thus far.
If any of you are interested... all of these newspaper microfilms are available
through Indiana State Historical Society. Dennis Hardin is the manager of the
newspaper archives. At least he is in charge of the microfilms of the old newspapers.
You can order rolls of microfilms of these old newspapers from their online catalogue.
Libraries can get the rolls on loan.
I will attach the link below.
Indiana Historical Society
And for those of you who do not have the opportunity to visit the site you can send
away for a hard copy.

The Preservation Imaging Department serves the Indiana Historical Society in a number
of
technical areas concerning the creation of surrogate images of historic documents,
whether
it be reformatting newspapers onto microfilm, or digitizing photographs from the
Library's
collections, or providing photographic reproductions for exhibition purposes. Over
eight
million pages of Indiana newspapers have been reformatted to microfilm by the
department since
1980, and all of these films are available for purchase by the public. During the
years
1988-1991 and 1993-1996, IHS was a participant in the United States Newspaper
Program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information see
the
on-line catalog which shows all of the available titles and inclusive dates. The
catalog is updated
annually.

or e-mail dhardin(a)indianahistory.org "
If I remember right the hard copy of the cataloge was about $3.00. (I noticed there
was one of the newspapers not listed on line that I bought from IHS through the hard
copy catalogue.) When my husband bought the rolls, they were $15.00 each. Later we
found out that you could order those same films through a library for a couple of
bucks. That was 5? years ago so prices may of changed.
Doing research from old newspapers is both wonderful and disappointing. Many times as
I looked through the rolls I have in my possession I would find amazing obituaries.
Many times they would list maiden names, children, grand children. Then there would be
obituaries that were almost useless. My great grandfather's obituary only lists how
he died. His name is spelled wrong. "The wife and son thank all who helped in the
services" No mention of names other than the deceased.
It just depends on who was the reporter at the time. You also have to remember to use
the obituary as a starting place. Depending on who gave the information about the
deceased to the reporter. Was it the next door neighbor? wife? ex wife? minister?
child? be careful!
Some of the obituaries I posted as "edited" text. That was because the person had been
murdered, committed suicide or had the coroners report in detail and was too gory to
post. The information many times can help you in finding other places to do your
research. Especially when it lists county and state of the birth of the deceased. Or
marriage place and date. That type of information will give you a lead of where to do
research next. That way you can verify your research.
In closing I want to say I have enjoyed looking through these old papers. Many of the
stories are priceless. Some of the gossip colums list who was having a baby or who
went to visit a great aunt and in what town. Many of the newspapers had biographies
in them. (none on my families) or announcements of family reunions with interviews
from the family.There are several papers with letters sent home from one of Boone
County's residents that traveled out west. One even traveled to New Zealand!
I am not done with my postings. I will still go down to the LDS Family History library
and copy off pages. I will still post more obituaries. I am not retiring I just wanted
you to know newspapers are other place to focus when you are doing genealogy
research. Janet Isley Price

What a wonderful thing you have done! I have family in Boone county in the
early 1800's and know how elusive they can be! Your offer to send the hard
copies back to their home place will help so many of us who can not sit at
the microfilm station and read off the film.
I look forward to taking a journey back in time by reading some of your hard
copies - just maybe I will find where my William Robertson is buried in
Boone county.
Here's to your happy home!

Hello List Members!
My name is Janet Price and I have been having fun typing up obituaries for
the
Boone County web page from the Jamestown Press and other old newspapers. I
am
having a problem and thought I would ask all of you on the list if I can get
some
assistance.
For Christmas several years past my husband gave me 33 rolls of microfilm of
old
newspapers so I could do farther research on my family. I gleaned what I
could
from those rolls of microfilm and then donated them to the local LDS
genealogy
center.
I just do not have the room for a reader and rolls of film in my computer
room.
So after I was finished I donated them to the local LDS genealogy center.
That way
I could drive the 7 miles to the genealogy library and use them when I felt
I
needed to. I was sitting back in my easy chair, relaxing and feling
comfortable
and then thought not enough people could use the rolls of film here in San
Diego.
So I went back to the library and began going through the rolls again to
take out
all of the obituaries and other interesting stories that may be of help to
others
and posting them on the Boone County Gen Web page. So far I have typed up
over
100 pages! Not bad for someone who typed only 19 words a minute when I
started!
Each time I find an obituary at the library, I get it xeroxed off so I can
take
it home to type and post. I just can't throw away the hard copy after the
obituary
is posted. My computer room has become a room of boxes of copied obituaries.
What
do I do with the hard copies???? My husband has been real patient. No big
complaints yet. But I can see something has to be done, or else you will all
be
seeing me on the 5 o'clock news "lady with piles of newspapers kicked out of
house
by husband"
I tried yesterday to take all of the extra hard copies out to the recycle
( trash)
and came back petting the box. I just can think of throwing the pages away
as of
yet. Some of them are the whole front page with stories about families that
lived
in Boone county many years past. Most is just gossip columns of birth's or
deaths
of babies. Perhaps a mention or two of "Martha ..... went to Saint Louis to
visit
her parents" but it lists her maiden name. If you read those papers enough
you see
the life of a community growing. People moving in and people moving out. How
can I
throw them away. Each page cost me 25 cents! ( this is an expensive hobbie)
So....is there anyone out there who wants them? Perhaps you can start your
own
paper collection of old newspapers. You could read and type up the pages I
was too
tired to type up. All you have to do is read and see if Jane has posted it,
if
not, you can type them up and post them yourself. You could type up the
columns I
have missed! Anniversaries! Weddings! etc.
I am willing to send them off to someone. (If I send them to you, please
don't
throw them away though. OK? I hope sending them UPS isn't too expensive)
Then I
can go back to the genealogy library and copy from 1906 to present....
yikes! what
am I saying? !!! Well at least my computer room will be clean.
