Information received from http://newspaperarchive.com/ Portsmouth Times September 7, 1889
1. There was a yearly meeting at Mt. Hope on September 4th
2. Mention of "the threshing machine" doing good work. "The largest wheat raisers of this place in order of importance are Claude Cadot, Lewis Nagle, James Cadot etc. James beat them all on the oats. He had over 600 bushel. Some have not threshed yet... Ed Davis and John Hanner lead in the melon business."
3. "George Sheppard will commence school at Vernon Furnace next Monday. The school at the place will begin one week later. Mr. Fout will be the teacher."
4. "Jacob Ruth and Miss Blanche Emory will make a (flying?) trip to Pine Grove Furnace, Sunday."
Charles mentions a Miss Blanche.
5. I don't believe Charles has mentioned Mattie in the journals yet but she is mentioned in the paper.
"Miss Mattie Hayward is on the sick list. Too much picnic."
questions:
1. Is Miss Blanche a relative of Naomi's and how?
2. Is Lewis Nagle the Lewis that Charles speaks of working on the farm?
Blanche E. Emory and Naomi C. Emory were first cousins....since their fathers were brothers.
