Newspaper Clippings For Wayne and White Counties

Transcribed and submitted by Candee Hoff

Candee's Puzzle

Periodically in reading old files and newspapers, I see information about relationships. I keep wishing  that I could find just one relative to my William Andrew Clevenger, so I could verify my family tree,  but so far, no luck. However, I constantly see little pieces that might be helpful to others in the same  predicament.

Please let me know if you indeed find your missing piece.
