Thanks Sue, I enjoyed reading those. If you see any mentioning the WEBER
family of Vincennes, I'd love to read them. I'm looking for more info on
William WEBER, b. 10 Dec. 1876 in Vincennes; don't know his parents or
siblings... yet!

The following articles were published in the Western Sun newspaper of
Vincennes in February, 1885:
The Sun last week gave an account of the elopement of T.S. Badollett, of
Salem, and Miss Eva Dugger, of Trenton, and their marriage in this city.
Since that time they have remained here. Yesterday they received a
telegram saying: "God bless you, my children. Come home. All is
forgiven."
Saturday night the store of Martin Golden at Monroe City was broken into
by thieves and $20 or $30 worth of cigars,knives, oysters, etc. taken. An
entrance was effected through the transom. In getting inside the rascals
broke out the plate glass in the door. No arrests.
In the State vs. Shellcut on a charge of larceny, the defendant plead
guilty and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. The specific
sin he committed was stealing an umbrella from County Treasurer
Hollingsworth.
A grand fox drive will take place in Washington township, Saturday, March
7th, beginning at 10 a. m. from four corners, namely Bradway Thompson's,
Joseph Baird's, George Hoke's and George Elliot's. The captains will be
A. A. Purcell, Nicholas Marsh, Alfred Elliott, and Andrew Buley. No guns
or dogs allowed.
Mr. John Parker, of Pond Creek, died of general debility, last Friday,
aged 76 years. He came to this county 60 years ago from Shelby County,
Ky., and was well known for his geniality and generosity of nature. He
raised a family of nine children, four boys and five girls. Dr. Robert
Parker, a well known physician, and William Parker, postmaster at Pond
Creek, are his sons. The others are prosperous citizens of Harrison
township. The remains were laid by the side of his late wife in Willson's
Creek Cemetery. Mrs. Parker died last May, aged 73 years.
Notice to Stockholders: The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Knox County Agricultural and Mechanical Society will be held at the Court
House in Vincennes, on Thursday, March 5, 1885, at one o'clock p. m. for
the election of directors for the ensuing year. Gerard Reiter,
Secretary.
Coroner Cooper, yesterday forenoon went to Bruceville and held an inquest
on the body of Lawson McNeece who met an accidental death on Monday. The
verdict was in accordance with the facts given in yesterday's Sun.
Supt. Pennington has received of Prof. Collett this county's quota of
Geological reports to be distributed only to teachers specially
interested in the subject. The books may be had by calling at the county
superintendent's office.
Nick Davis, who had his arm broken, last week, on the E. & T.H. near Fort
Knox, mention of which was made in the Sun at the time, used to be deputy
postmaster at Sullivan. Only a few days before the mishap he tried to
secure an accident policy but did not find the agent.
Mr. John Byars, an octogenarian of Washington township, has an old
fashioned clock which is said to be over a hundred years old, and it
still keeps good time. His grandfather brought it to this county in 1830
from Virginia. Two of them cost him a hundred dollars each. Mr. Byars
says that he has read the bible seven times.
Card of Thanks
Editor Sun: Please allow me the benefit of your columns to thank my
friends for the assistance so gallantly rendered while my building was
burning. Through the untiring efforts of Uncle George Boud, Geo. B.
Charley, John Lamon, Dr. Owings, Misses Orah Fry, Rachel Purcell, Maudie
Taylor and others whom I can not now mention, a considerable portion of
my house-hold goods escaped the ravages of the flames. Also to Mrs. C. L.
Haughton, whose unsurpassing kindness to my wife and children will never
be forgotten. With grateful thanks to all for timely aid in our hour of
need. I remain yours, John Madigan. Oaktown, Feb. 24, 1885.

first day of December, 1884. All persons indebted to the late firm are

Norma,
A few months ago I was looking for a particular book, "History of Old
Vincennes and Knox County" by George Greene, and found it on eBay. Like
yourself, I did the auction thing and was repeatedly outbid. A friend of
mine who frequents Lewis Historical Library in Vincennes told me that the
local DAR had ordered a reprint of the book a few years ago and was selling
the book at the library for $40. If this is one of the books you are
looking for, contact the library or the DAR in Vincennes and they will be
able to set you up for much less than the $109.

***************************************************
Virus Alert: "I Love You" Virus
A computer virus that experts warn could be more disruptive than the
notorious "Melissa" virus has hit computers in Asia and Europe and is
quickly spreading across the United States via email. The virus, which
includes the message "I Love You" or "Love Letter" in the email subject
line, was first spotted in Asia early this morning. The virus arrives in
an email that includes an attachment called "Love-Letter-For-You" and
targets users of Microsoft Outlook to send messages with the virus to
every person listed in that user's address book. Once opened, the email
virus overwrites existing local script and HTML files, as well as picture
and music files, with its own code. Files with extensions .jpg, .jpeg,
.mp3, and .mp2 are overwritten. To protect yourself against "I Love You",
DO NOT open any messages with the subject "I Love You" or "Love Letter"
or any other suspicious attachments. Delete these messages immediately
and download the latest version of your antivirus software. Click here to
grab the latest virus definitions for the PC:

Hi lists, I would like to share my book auction experience. Hopefully this
will benefit some of you. This week is the first time I have bid at an
auction for genealogy and history books. After losing a couple of bids that
I really wanted, I checked out this site that was recommended on one of
these lists.
http://www.bookradar.com/
I found the books I lost the bids on at less than what the high bid went
for. This is not to say that the auctions are not good, since after armed
with my educated maximum bid I did get two bargains.
My new plan of attack: I copy the bid info, then check availability and
price before bidding. Then I can make an educated maximum bid (1 time)or no
bid at all, and feel at ease that I am not going to overpay or bid against
myself just to raise my maximum (which I did twice).
>From watching the bids go crazy this week (a $40.00 book auctioned at
$109.50..... which is what prompted this email) I'm sure some of you can
benefit by this info, especially if you are new at it like I am.
