While it's true that many people have scanners and CD writers and would be
willing (as I would be) to do it, most people do not have scanners which
will do something the size of a newspaper. Once we start getting into
scanners of that size, we're pretty much ruling out people at the local
level, and getting right back into professionals. If someone has access
to a large scanner such as that, who would be willing to do it, of course
that would be the best option.

I wrote the gentleman I know in England who scans old books and puts them
on CDs. He has very generously offered to scan the newspapers free of
charge, and also produce the CDs, if we can ship the papers to him. I
have some of the CDs that he's done, and the quality is very good.
There are some pros and cons, of course. We would have to have permission
to remove them from their present location and ship them to England. If
it was done, the genealogical society could possibly sell the CDs just as
they do their historical books.
If you're interested in seeing what he does, the URL to his website is:
http://www.archivecdbooks.com/books/index.htm
If there are only 75 newspapers, it would not take long at all for him to
scan them to CD.

Contact the state archivist at the Indiana State Library....newspaper
division.
(Indianapolis) Old newspapers have been microfilmed over the years and
surely still are.

I would hope that all other sources of this type would be explored before
risking shipping original documents to another country. Most people with
computers now a days have computers with cd writers and scanners and I am
sure someone at a more local level would surely volunteer to copy the papers
and make cds. Why not post the proposition to the main Indiana mail lists or
even other Indiana archives before making a final decision. Just a
suggestion.

The Greene County Courthouse does not have any scanners or copiers that will
accommodate a newspaper size sheet. I suppose that the information could be
copied but you would lose the "history" of the way it was printed and the
pictures although primitive compared to today's copy is as priceless as the
words. As you all can tell, I fell in love with them. I have a Fuji 1.3
megapixel digital but don't think it would capture the pages legible enough
to read. Also, of course, we are talking about seventy-five pages more or
less.

But what would they scan them with? Is there a large scanner available?

Has anyone contacted Indiana University or the State Archives Division for
information on available grants to preserve such important historical
documents. I do believe the States and also the National Archives have
available grants for such things. It would sure be worth looking into.

Okay Greene County,
How can we save the deteriorating newspapers from 1870's through 1880's
being stored in the Recorders Office at the Courthouse? The clerk said that
they checked into having them scanned by a professional out of state company
and it was going to be way too expensive for the county. These papers are
priceless and getting worse with each day. I asked for them to be laid down
because one of the books was coming out of it's binding. Rae Della agreed
but who knows how long they will stay that way. It is not convenient
because the only place to lay them is on top of the shelves and it is not so
easy to get to them for the clerks. Some pages have already been lost.
Even if there are copies at some other area of the state, it limits local
access to these valuable periodicals. I am open to suggestions. I had
posted a query to the Indiana list but just plain forgot about the Greene
County list until today. Been a little busy lately, haha. Please let's get
our heads together and see what we can do. Thanks for listening and am
looking forward to any and all suggestions on where to do from here.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Earle
How about Susie Deem and Noah Jackson married in 1911. Probably August
14. Would love any information on this couple. Susie was orphaned when
her parents died early following the total destruction of their house by
fire - this was in Coaltown, OH, across the river from Ashland KY.
Susie and her siblings were separated at that point (she was the middle
daughter, age 11) and each was raised by a family member in Indiana.
Susie ended up living with a family named Jarvis in Greene County. This
probably wasn't the only family she lived with. The girls were not
reunited for 40 years. Adam (father) had been married previously, and
there was at least one boy - name unknown - destiny unknown. When the
girls were reunited, the oldest, Grace, had married a man named
Crutchfield. The youngest, Florence, had married a man named Eaches.
And Susie was married to Noah Jackson. Susie was thought to have been
born in 1892.
Thank you!

HOME MCDANIELS FATALLY WOUNDED BY STEP-FATHER
Quarrel Sunday at Noon at Charles Sparks' Home West of Stanford Terminates
Tragically
-----------------------
Shot Gun Fells McDaniels as He Charges After Sparks With a Rock
A terrible shooting affair took place a mile east of Stanford Sunday at
noon when Charles Sparks, age 40, and his step-son Homer McDaniels, age 23,
engaged in a family row which terminated by Sparks shooting McDaniels in
the left thigh with a shotgun.
A hole large eough for a man to stick his fist in was torn in McDaniels'
body, two-thirds of the way up from the knee and he lost so much blood
before he received medical attention that it is very doubtful if he will
recover. As soon as the shooting took place a call was made to Dr. Moser
at Stanford. Realizing from the description and the nature of the wound
that the man was in danger of bleeding to death, Dr. Moser gave some
"first-aid-to-the-injured" instructions over the phone, but these were not
carried out and when the physicians arrived he found McDaniels at the point
of death--laying where he had fallen when shot by Sparks.
The shooting was the result of a family row as Sparks and McDaniels had not
been getting along well together for some time, and it is understood that
Sparks was trying to make him leave, it is said, when the quarrel
started. Before the shooting the two men engaged in a rough and tumble
fight and McDaniels got the best of it. McDaniels then secured a rock and
ran Sparks into the house where Sparks secured a single-barrel shotgun and
fired one shot just as McDaniels was about the enter the house. Dr. Moser
made the run to the scene in his auto and after dressing McDaniels'
injuries arrested Sparks and took him to little Cincinnati where he turned
him over to Sheriff Jackson of Greene County. He is now in jail at Bloomfield.
The witnesses to the shooting were Mrs. Sparks, the mother of McDanields,
and four Sparks children. The wounded man remains at the Sparks home and
his condition today is bad. Sparks was raised in the Solsberry neighborhod
and McDaniels in Greene County. The shooting took place on a farm
belonging to Gilbert H. Hendren, at the head of the state board of accounts
of Indiana.

A county in another state is using "cheap labor'. People that have been
ordered by the Judge to do community service as their sentence are now
scaning in records and making idexes for that county. Might be a solution.

I am looking for a divorce record for the period of approximately 1910 in
Greene Co. Can anyone tell me the name of the court book in which that type
of record can be found? I have spent some time looking through the
microfiche at the court house and am yet to find any divorce records,, so I
must be looking in the wrong place.

Hi All,
I wanted to write a short note to the list to let everyone know new biographies have been posted to the Biography board at the Greene Co., INGenWeb site. I just posted 48 more biographies tonight, which I've transcribed from the 1908 Biographical Memoirs volumes.
I hope these will help some of you. I believe there are approximately another 75 to 100 biographies left to transcribe now, so I'm on the home stretch.

I'm trying to get some information on the family of :
Alexander SCOTT b. 1790-1800 who was living in Owen Co.IN and listed on the
1840 census there in Franklin Twp. with his wife and 8 children: 7 sons and 1
dau. I can't find him after that census and am wondering if he might have
moved to a neighboring county?
I'm trying to find out if he is possibly connected to my SCOTT family who
migrated to Owen Co.IN from Carroll Co.OH.
If anyone has any information on this family....please contact me.
Thanks so much,

Hello List,
I'd like to announce the debut of a new section on the Greene Co., INGenWeb site: Veterans' Burials in Greene County, Indiana at the following web address:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ingreene/vets.htm
This new section has been in the works for over a year. I'm so glad to finally get it online and just in time for Veteran's Day. Presently, only names are listed but I hope to add more details, such as branch or company, as time goes on.
There are still Korean War vets to put online, too. I hope to get these done within the next week or so. I could've waited until these were finished but I was anxious to get the section online.
As always, I do make mistakes so please let me know if you see a misspelled name or typo and I'll get it corrected. Also, I'm sure there are probably other veterans buried here in Greene County which I've missed in the listing. I will be looking forward to adding more veterans to the list and will gladly add more details as they are sent in to me.
In closing, my thought in working on this project was for it to be kind of like an online Wall of Honor but geared to family historians with details other than names only. I hope visitors will find it helpful and contribute to its listings so it will grow and include all soldiers buried in our county.
Diane :)
