"Home is where one starts from. As we grow older the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living. Not the intense moment, isolated, with no before and after, but a lifetime burning in every moment. And not the lifetime of one man only, but of old stones that cannot be deciphered." ----- T. S. Eliot, 1888-1965 "Four Quartets, East Coker" (1940)

Love newspapers. They add so much dimension to our folks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed the Newby name before. Do you know if they go back to a Virginia family? A James Newby (d. 1791 Lancaster County, VA) left a will forbidding his son to marry any daughter of Abner Palmer. It's my favorite will and I'd love to know why!
My Newby ancestors were in Perquimanns Co., NC from the early 1700s to the early 1800s and then they were found in Randolph Co. NC for a short time before they migrated to Indiana. They lived in a large community of Quakers in both States. Ha! Sounds like James Newby had serious issues with Abner Palmer. That would probably drive me nuts until I found out what it was all about!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Love those old newspapers, especially the Social News sections.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I've found several obituaries in the older newspapers which has been of enormous help. I try to check them every once in awhile just to see if something new has shown up. I'm so glad that you are a follower of my blog. That means a lot! Love the picture of Bailey and Sarge!!
