Listmembers--
I know that there are many of you that have corresponded with Nancy Skinner White over the years.
I wanted to take a moment and let you know that her husband passed away last night after having a heart attack yesterday.
As some of you may wish to extend their sympathies, I felt I would pass along the information.

Subject: Re: [INOWEN] Free Ferry at Farmer's Station
Where was the Farmers Station? Thank you Randi, for your time and energy
to record these facts for those of us who cannot do the work ourselves
because of the distance to Owen County.
Now if only someone in Monroe or Brown County, could tell me why Amos
Lawson 19yrs of age, was committed to the Boys School prior to 1880! He
was
born in Monroe Co., IN to Drury Lawson and Polly Hall. In the 1870
Census,
this child was a patient in the County Poor Farm! This couple's children
can
be found scattered over the nearby Counties in the 1870 census!
