The reporting of births was haphazard at best in the early years. Not all issues of past newspapers have been saved to microfilm, however, every effort is being made to research what is available for this collection. Our goal is to help in researching ancestors and add a sense of history. This page is a continuing effort and will be added to, often, as more research is completed.

Jan. 10, 1880 Three little strangers of the masculine persuasion took up their abode with the Rev. Macmurry, Daniel O'Keef and Robert Thompson respectively during the past week. There is great rejoicing in consequence. We saw neighbor Donaldson of Pulcifer, last week and
he seemed extra happy, but we found the reason of his happiness - a boy,
weight 16 pounds avoirdupois.

Jan. 31, 1880 Not an Ordinary Tramp A stranger called at the residence of T. H. Phelps
at an early hour on Tuesday morning last. He couldn't speak a word of english
and appeared to be in very destitute circumstances- his clothes altogether
to thin for this rigorous climate. Mrs. Phelps ordered him to be kindly
cared for. She didn't palm off any of her husband's old clothes on him
but gave him a new suit throughout. He has been staying there since, and
it is said that Mrs. P. pays more attention to him then she does her husband,
that she has been seen by the neighbors with her arm around his neck etc.
Such conduct on the part of a lady towards a stranger might make trouble
in some families, but T. H. isn't a bit jealous, and says the fellow can
stay as long as he likes. He is a quiet well-behaved lad and weighed nine
pounds. The REPORTER extends a hearty congratulations.
