Information learned

Some information I've learned from working at the library mainly relating to Kentucky and the Kentucky Room.

-  Our county is actually spelled wrong. Daviess is actually supposed to be spelled Daveiss like the other two counties in Indiana and Illinois.
-  In old newspapers, instead of the column being named obituaries, it was actually called the mortuary.
-  When people left town or came into town, they would actually place who went where under the Local Laconics.
