I am a newbie to the list and have been lurking so far. But..... I found an old 1953 scrapbook recently and put some of the obituaries and anniversaries and announcements on my website. I thought maybe they might help someone somewhere. It can be seen at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/7741/53scbk.html Thanks Floa Swisher ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 00:49:39 -0800 From: "Hollis G.

In 1874, he engaged in the fine-stock business, making a specialty of the breedeng of thoroughbred short-horn cattle, with Royal Airdrie at the head of his herd.

I'm sorry, but...this morning I posted a quip about the 1953 scrapbook I'd found and forgot to tell what area it covered. I believe the owner to have been from the Lewisville OH area and I believe it to be Monroe County OH. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks again Floa Swisher -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #160 *******************************************
