The reporting of births was haphazard at best in the early years. Not all issues of past newspapers have been saved to microfilm, however, every effort is being made to research what is available for this collection. Our goal is to help in researching ancestors and add a sense of history. This page is a continuing effort and will be added to, often, as more research is completed.

H. G. MORGAN goes
around now with a new species of
smile—it is a crop between a gentle smile and a hearty

before. “What
causes his ecstacy?” You will ask. Here
is the answer to the
question: That little bright eye beauty weighs eight pounds,
and
he will, we hope , at some future time, be president of the United
States.
Now who blames H. G. M. for feeling happy.
THE ARRIVAL of a stranger at the residence of Mr. John Hoffman on the 7th inst., is the cause of much joy. It is a girl.
