Credit for donation On October 10, 2003, Bob Jessup wrote to tell me of an old Palo Pinto newspaper that he had found at an estate sale in Ft. Worth. We e-mailed each other back and forth to arrange for the receipt of the newspaper so that I could transcribe it for the Palo Pinto Co., TXGenWeb. On Nov. 10, 2003 I received the newspapers in the mail, and began the transcription. You can view the progress of the transcription by viewing the "What's New" for Nov, Dec 2003 and Jan 2004, section of this web site. When I opened the box I received in the mail I was perplexed for a little while. There was the first 8 pages of the Mineral Wells News newspaper dated May 7, 1957. Then I found 6 of what appeared to be inserts from another newspaper. It took me awhile to find the name, but I did find out that the 6 inserts were from the Palo Pinto County Star newspaper and it appears that the inserts were saved for almost a week. The inserts weren't dated, so I have simply placed them in the order I received them, hoping to save the wear and tear on the old papers. The papers are old and fragile and require lots of care to keep them in tact. I want to take this opportunity to thank Bob Jessup for his donation of this old newspaper project. It has been a pleasure to work with these old newspapers, and I have learned a lot about Palo Pinto County history. Thanks Bob. |
