Hi,
My friend may have worked on this line. But the name was Cuppy, not
Cully. Are you sure what you are reading isn't Cuppy in old script writing? I
know she was born in Davenport, her family were Margaret and Edward Cuppy.
Best wishes, Kathie Davis

NEW INTERURBAN PROPOSED
Nashville, Indiana, is Worked up over Important Rail Connection
Nashville, Ind., Mar. 6-For the tenth time in as many years, Nashville
residents are all excited over obtaining a traction line. The proposed line
would start at Fruitdale on the Illinois Central railroad, run through
Nashville, Story, Pike's Peak, Houston, Freetown and Ewing to Brownstown,
connecting there with the Illinois Central Southern Indiana and Baltimore &
Ohio railroads. A letter from the chief engineer of the Tipton & Frankfort
traction line to Alonzo Allison, president of the town council, asks if
moral and physical support will be given such a road here. This is
assured..

BLUEBIRD STEALS MAIL IN INDIANA
Nashville, Ind., Sept. 16-John Sweers, living near Elkinsville, Brown
County, is a patron of a rural route and has a mail box for the reception of
mail. A few weeks ago he deposited a letter in the box, but the carrier
failed to find it. The second time he mailed a letter and again it was
missing. Again he deposited a letter, and this time he kept watch. To his
amazement, he saw a bluebird light on the mail box, hop inside, come out
with the letter in its bill and fly away.

FIRES
Business Park of Nashville, Ind., burned
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
Columbus, Ind., March 31-News has just reached this city that a destructive
fire broke out in Nashville, the county seat of Brown County, at eleven
o'clock last night and consumed the business portion of that town. The fire
originated in James McGrayel's saloon which was consumed with its contents
and quickly spread to the adjoining buildings. The flames soon destroyed J.
Calvin's hardware store, on which there was a small insurance; the next in
order were Mrs. Phillips' two story house, Judge Coffey's law office
Hester's saloon, Roberts & Quick's office, Bud Price's barbershop, and
Taggert & Hester's beer house. The fire originated in McGrayel's saloon
which is supposed to have been set on fire as considerable feeling has been
shown against McGrayel for some time.

DOG TRACED MASTER AND SAVED HIS LIFE
Nashville, Ind., Nov. 3-Jacob Wilson, farmer, near Story, finding that an
old well in a field near his home had gone dry, and without notifying his
family, attempted to dig it deeper, and he descended to the bottom by means
of a ladder, and began work. Almost the first blow jarred the walls, and
there was a cave-in, burying him underneath the debris.
Failing to report when it began to get dark, his wife and son, accompanied
by Shep, the family dog, started on a hunt for the missing man, and he was
traced to the well by the faithful dog and rescued by the son scarcely in
time to prevent death from suffocation. Wilson's hand was found clasping a
rung of the ladder, but his head was barely perceptible. Only the ladder
had prevented him from being crushed to death. He was brought to the
surface with difficulty, where it was found that he had escaped with
unbroken bones, but was suffering from nervous prostration.
Mr. Wilson says he called for help till he was exhausted, and that he was
unable to extricate himself. Shep, the family dog, followed his master's
scent to the old well and stood wagging his tail and barking till the
attention of the family was called in that direction.
