I hope the newspaper clippings were of some help or interest. I have posted
all that I have that were my grandmother's, Mary Cordray Bishop. I'm sorry
that they did not have dates nor what newspaper they were from although I
suspect that they were mainly from the Unterrified Democrat that my
grandmother subscribed to.
