After his wife’s death he divided his property with his children, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Massey, near here.

when news came that natural gas had been 'found at Petersburg in paying quantities. Some feared it was only a rumor, but when the Democrat came to our office confirming the report, it was read and re-read. We all rejoiced, as every citizen of Pike couuty should feel proud that we now live in one of the best counties in the southern part oft Indiana, and hope in a short time to see Petersburg a grand city with a large number of big factories, running dav and night.
