The Mountain Echo Newspaper

(c) Gladys Horn Brown and (c) Linda Haas Davenport

Of all the types of records a genealogist searches the small local (usually weekly) newspapers give the researcher the best glimpse into the day to day lives of their ancestors.

The index below is divided into two sections. One section lists the issues being abstracted by Gladys Horn Brown which contain only local items of interest. The other section lists the issues being abstracted by Linda Haas Davenport which are much more complete - covering at least a mention of everything found in each issue of the paper.

HONESTY ON THE WEB !!!

Much Like the Golden Rule - If you don't want your work stolen don't steal someone else's.

Feel free to use this information in your own research and for no other purpose!!!
