I find today's news too depressing so I read and collect clippings from other times and places and publish them. The clippings are full of local, national, and international news and history, interesting characters, and plenty of humor. My first book, TEXAS CLIPPINGS, is from the San Antonio Light newspaper, 1881-1883. My second book, CHICAGO CLIPPINGS, is from the 1912 Chicago Day Book newspaper. My third book, OREGON CLIPPINGS, is from 1899 issues of the Lincoln County Leader.

Old photos of couples married 50 years.
This page will be part of the MARRIAGES book due out soon. All of the pictures are from old newspapers and all these couples are mentioned in the book.
These are fascinating! I love looking at old designs and settings. The clothing is wonderful and the expressions are priceless. I jumped to your Chickens in the News link and found that oddly captivating, too. Neat, neat subject matter.
What a wonderful idea!

ReplyDeleteSorry to be so SLOW to answer. I was oddly captivated by Chickens, too. Had no idea I would find so much about them in the old newspapers.
