<< Hi all. Often times I come accross an article while doing research at the
Allen Co. Library, that I really should post to the lists. I found this one
today and decided I should post it in hopes that it will be of help to
someone. Even if it doesn't pertain directly to your ancestors, you will
enjoy it anyway. I have scanned it and pasted it below. This particular
article came from the Periodical titled "Indiana Roots". Enjoy.

A potpourri of early Henry County residents:
In 1838 and for several years prior, William Silver kept a store in New
Castle. He was the contractor for carrying the United States mails once a
week, on horseback from Centerville via Jacksonburg, Nettle Creek, Boyd, New
Castle, Middletown, Chesterfield, Anderson and Pendleton to Noblesville. >>
THANKS REX FOR THE MEMORIES...............
I collect items such as this, put it in a special notebook and put it on my
coffee table and visitors read some of what is there and remark on 'Where did
you find all this stuff?' I just say I get it from other researchers on the
net. I do and each person that has sent any particular item their name is
with that article. Makes for good conversation much of the time. Even my
census taker for 2001 thought it a good idea and was going to start her one.
