Extractions: "Although the railroads were in the area ahead of most of the settlers, the wagon train was the most commonly used method of travel for a majority of the earliest settlers. It was true, to a great extent, even a decade after the railroads arrived. R.D. Crawfords's parents who... settled in Richaland County [in 1881], were impressed by the many wagon trains that passed through their town, Rochester, Minnesota. One of these wagon trains contained thirty-three wagons. Another train had a wagon which carried the inscription, Go west we must or Jimtown will Bust . Covered wagons were important, but the railroads were even more valuable."

Extractions: Abbeville, Louisiana Compiled by Gary E. Theall. The establishment of the Graceland Cemetery was announced by the Meridional on June 27, 1908, as follows: "New Cemetery. "A few progressive people in Abbeville, believing that the day of the 'brierpatch graveyard' for the town, has passed have combined to establish a respectable cemetery for Abbeville and vicinity. They have secured four arpents of land, on Graceland Avenue in the North Eastern part of town, near the limits of the corporation. The ground selected is high and well located, on one of the widest and in future to be, one of the most beautiful streets of the town. The Avenue is sixty-six feet wide including the sidewalk. "The cemetery is to be laid off into large family lots, with wide walks between. It is contemplated to spend a considerable sum of money on the cemetery, at once in the planting of trees, shrubbery and flowers, as well as in laying off and shelling wide drive ways through the cemetery. Family lots to be of various sizes some 50 feet square, some 40 feet square, some 25 and 20 feet square and less. "Quite a number of families have spoken for lots already, and will remove their dead to the new cemetery, in time. Not much can be done before next winter. As this cemetery is located on Graceland Avenue, the name of 'Graceland Cemetery,' is suggested. When this project is further developed and the place is prepared for use, the public will be fully informed of terms and particulars."

Extractions: Cycles of U.S. History - World War Cycle last modified February 21, 2000 The Missionary Generation were the idealists of the World War Cycle. As they approached adulthood, around 1890, the student missionary movement was launched and protests and labor violence was the norm. This cultural bonfire of a spiritual event lasted until just after the turn of the century. Many of our present religious groups trace their roots to those times. The modern women's movement, temperance and the labor movements also began then. A civil generation, the G.I.'s, emerged from those turbulent times to conquer the Great Depression and to fight the greatest war, WWII. These civic events are still fresh in our conscience since many of the participants are still with us.

The reel contains, in chronological order, most issues of THE NEW ERA from May 23, 1865 through May 22, 1866; scattered issues of THE FREDERICKSBURG NEWS from February 16,1874 through December 31, 1874; most issues from January through June, 1875; and representative issues from January, 1876 through September 18, 1882. The microfilm copy used for preparing this index was provided by the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, Caroline and Lewis Streets, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401.

Extractions: It was a great delight to see so many well-kent faces amongst the recent visitors. Recent ferries have been carrying about 100 passengers and 25 cars at a time, and on Good Friday there were 142 passengers and 35 cars - so the island was full at last, with everyone in excellent form. The weekend weather was not brilliant, which came as a bit of a shock after months of almost unbroken sunshine, but at least it was dry. There was plenty going on Mary Machrins' family were at the heart of a belated Christmas Dinner (with all trimmings), which had had to be postponed beyond the usual date. Nigel and Rhona's house was chosen, and it was good to see the decorations and the party lights, and to hear of people trying to get a 22lb turkey into a 15lb oven at this time of year. The Shooting Match was well-supported, and as always some competitors had travelled far to attend. Reports are a little uncertain, but it seems that Nigel was the overall champion, closely challenged by Duncan Sandy in second place; Seamus McNeill covered himself with glory, winning the Double Rise, and Iain Harding made a very respectable contribution, being adjudged "Best Dressed Competitor". One enthusiastic competitor had trouble with the moving targets, but scored a direct hit on the loader's shed; whereupon Italy was rumoured to have surrendered. The full results are now to hand:
