The trip my relatives took to visit family in Minnesota made not one, but two, local news columns in the newspaper published in a nearby town. Two separate issues of the Warsaw [Ilinois] Bulletin contained references to the trip. Not surprisingly there were differences between the two references:
- One reference left out one of the trip participants: Mrs. Laura Markley.
- One reference didn’t list the first names of the women.
- The first name of the sister’s husband in Minnesota is different.
- One reference indicated the mode of travel. The other did not.
- One reference mentioned a second sister’s family in Minnesota.
The two references also indicate the importance of mixing up those search terms when attempting to locate newspaper references. Fannie Neill’s name was usually spelled “Fannie” instead of “Fanny” and a search for “Charles” will not locate the reference to “Chas.”
That must have been a cold drive to Minnesota during the winter time in 1931 or 1932.
