MISC. NEWSPAPER
TIDBITS

*NOTE! The only microfilm of newspapers from Rusk Co. that I've gotten access to so far is the Henderson Times. I'm doing abstracts (or many times full articles) of various items & will work my way through them very slowly! (It takes a lot of time to do this!)

There is some WONDERFUL information in many of these old papers.   Some of them have a lot of information, while others just have a little, but I'm putting it all in (at least the parts that mention people's names), according to what I've been able to find.

I will be putting the info up based to what I can find & how much money I have to drop into the microfilm copying machine! Many of the older newspapers only have 1 copy left for certain years (only one paper from a possible total of 52 since most were weeklies) that have been located & microfilmed so there's no way this can ever be a comprehensive listing. Even so, I feel that it is one of the BEST resources I've found & hence am concentrating a lot of my time on it.

Here is a few articles from the BIRMINGHAM IRON AGE (1874-1884) that mentions some Rusk Co. Citizens.
