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!

News or No News??

A cow owned by Mrs. Gebhart, a widow, fell over the bank at the bridge cut on Vincennes street, Wednesday night, and was killed.  An Air Line train ran over and killed, Wednesday, a cow owned by Americus Duggins.  On the same day a fine cow owned by ex-city engineer Smith died.  It was a bad day for cows.  - New Albany Daily Ledger 22 Jul 1886
