Collection — Folder: S2133
Identifier: S2133
Scope and Contents
This collection includes two clippings of Kate Milner Rabb's Indianapolis Star column, "A Hoosier Listening Post." The first article was published on December 29, 1928 and relates information about an old pocketbook that once belonged to Hoosier pioneer James Marshall and was given to the museum of the Washington Historical Society in Salem, Indiana by Marshall's grandson Chalres W. Kinney. Rabb describes a list of goods to be disposed of at a sale prior to Marshall leaving Augusta County, Virignia and transcribes a November 1, 1827 letter sent by his brother M.G.S. Marshall regarding a settlement of an estate. The second article was published on December 8, 1929 and relates Capt. David Beem's reminiscences of the experiences of his grandfather [Daniel] Beem, an early settler of Jackson County, Indiana, during the family's first cold winter in 1810, pioneer living in Indiana and the reaction to the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
