History
of Madison Times
Monroe
County Appeal
The
first number of the Monroe
County Appeal was issued at Monroe City on
October 8, 1865, by M. C. Brown and H. A. Buchanan.
They published it until 1872 when J. B. Reavis
bought Mr. Buchanan's interest. B. F. Blanton
secured a controlling interest in 1873 and moved the
paper to Paris where it has since been published by
Mr. Blanton and his sons.

This
is a valuable resource for general information and
leads. You can find information like:
who sold land, crops, or livestock; visitors to the
area; who the county supported as wards; deaths; who
was arrested; and general local interest stories.
( This is where I first found out about the Gold
Mining Co.) |
