Flipside: August 2010

Over a decade ago, I found several old Columbiana County, Ohio newspapers on microfilm at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. My maternal grandmother and her ancestors lived in Columbiana County for over 100 years, so I was very excited to find this little piece of another county's history locally.

When I did the transcription, I sent it to the Columbiana County Genealogical Society for publication in their newsletter and also submitted it to their online website. Since many of the early genealogical online resources have changed and the newsletter has probably be shelved in a dusty corner.....I decided to add the information to my blog, making it easier for a descendant to locate their ancestors name if it is contained in this issue of the newspaper.

I do have a copy of the microfilmed newspaper, if there are interested genealogists who would like to have a copy.

Selected articles from this early Columbiana County newspaper that mention the residents have been copied exactly as found on microfilm at the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio. Transcriptions and the selection of articles and surname index have been compiled by Linda Hughes Hiser, August, 1997. (c)

+Threshing Machine.
The undersigned Subscribers having examined Archibald DOUGLASS'S patent threshing machine, are of the opinion that it would be of general utility to the farmers if introduced, being durable and will in our opinion be a great saving of labor. We would also recomment to those who wish to start the improved gristmill by horse power to connect it with the threashing machine as the same motion may be applied by the same power to the grist mill, which will we have no doubt be less expense more durable and will give as quick a motion as may be desired. We therefore would recomment the Farmers of this section of the country to call at Jon'n PEIRCE'S near this place, where the threshing machine and horse power is now in operation and examine for themselves.
