From the Banner Plain Dealer, February 21, 1900:
Fish Creek: Will Large and George Shinolt are making ties for I.B.
Stearns.
Fish Creek: We are informed that James Stearns of Long Branch will soon
remove to Jefferson county.
Queensville: Daniel Shedd has quite an attraction at this place as he
comes once a week regular.
Brewersville: Wm. Matthews of North Vernon has purchased the Dale Evans
property at this place, so our merchant, J. M. Stearns, will not have to
vacate as he thought he would.
