I am trying to find out where I can get a copy of a page of a newspaper from Meridian, MS.
Supposedly, there existed a newspaper dated December 1891 that on the front page had an article regarding the death of Hosea Butler who died at the age of 104 years. Rumor has it that Hosea was living with his son at the time.
Any help finding the paper OR any help finding Hosea and/or his descendants in the Meridian area would be greatly appreciated.
In the 1880 census for Butlers or variants, the only ones I've found in Lauderdale County all lived in Hurricane Creek.
Butler, Frank with wife Eliza
Butler, M (anyone know his name?) with wife Mary
Butler, L F (initals stand for ??) wife Phoeby
Butler, James with wife N W (initals stand for ??)
Butler, W B (initals stand for ??) with wife Tempy
I'm off to look for these guys in the census and/or cemeteries of Lauderdale county, but if these belong to anyone on the list, I'd like to know more about them.
Lastly, if anyone knows were Hosea Butler is physcially buried (as in cemetery, etc), please let me know!
Thanks and happy hunting,
Mary
