Welcome

Snippets from newspapers (news or no news??) and sketches of earlier New Albany and its surroundings. Photos and vignettes.
A smorgasbord. Potpourri. And maybe more. Not academic nor scholarly. Just for fun!

Did You Know? Etched In Stone

ELIAS AYERS
ELIAS AYRES

The family plot at Fairview Cemetery is marked with a towering obelisk, at the base of which is inscribed the name "ELIAS AYERS".  Elias and his family and several of his in-laws are all buried here.  The individual stones marking his grave and the graves of his wife and children are all inscribed "AYRES".  So much for etched in stone!
