Congratulations to the Webmaster for this local history website!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this very necessary blog! I would note that credit should be given to any and all graphics you use (when known) in future posts. In this case the article is from the Hamilton Township Public Lbrary Local History Collection. It takes quite a bit of time to enhance and prepare these graphics. You are very welcome to post other related posts from my website by arrowing down 3 or 4 times to the alphabetical index. You will find numerous
flies under AFRICAN AMERICAN, SHILOH BAPTIST and possibly others. Good luck with this very necessary segment of local history. Tom Glover
