Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1901 - Yesterday's News |
||
| These clippings from ancient
and fragile newspapers stored above the Troy Gazette-Register office are
being typed by Tri-County volunteers for presentation on site. Primarily
we are preserving the neighborhood news columns and the obituary, marriage
and birth information included in them. I intend also to include articles
that show the influences on the lives and attitudes of our local populations
at the time, and I will also illustrate the individual pages with ads from
the era. Nothing is more revealing of lifestyle than the goods and services
available.
The TGR covers the area of all townships surrounding Troy and many neighborhoods have a local column submitted, but not necessarily every week or even every year. Our thanks goes to the staff of the Troy Gazette-Register for giving us access to this valuable old news so that we can share it with you. There is no better way to understand the culture and customs of our old communities than by sifting through these clippings. Even the names of some of these old communities have ceased to exist in today's world, but we have them captured and preserved here. If you do not have the time to enjoy the luxury of sifting through clippings, these will be included in the Partitioned PICO Search Engine which you can reach from current What's New Page of the site. There is a partition just for the TGR Clippings. |

Mrs. Watkins side.
Mr. Editor: My husband Mial Watkins, the author of the notice in the two last issues of your paper, forbidding anyone to trust his wife, Hester Watkins on his account, is 84 years of age February 12, 1902, has the sight of only half of on eye left, very hard of hearing, feeble in health, sick three months last winter. I cared for him, owns 900 acres of land, house and lot and cash to his account.
I have been married to him twenty-five years December 20th next, have done his business, attended to the household and waited on his first wife’s two sons, aged 12 and 17, when I came here, for about six years. He has forbid all merchants trusting me and most always refused to pay for necessaries for me, even insisting on my paying store bills for the family use. He has even gone to a lawyer and slandered me and told a lawyer he would have peace the rest of his life. I never have been to blame if he has not always had peace. According to report he never had it before I came here. I have been deprived of my pension, #12 a month, amounting to $3,576, according to my reckoning, without interest. I feel beholden to no one, I have earned all I have called for and I also know I am entitled to protection, provision and respect from a husband and of his wealth.
As to his son Treat J. Watkins. If his father gave him 300 acres of land, 70 sheep, 18 cows, 2 horses, green hay and farming implements, then he would have to pay no debts of Teat’s, neither would Treat keep his father on skim milk, nor take cows off from other farms and sell them and kept he money. My husband has been hazed to death about the property for the last ten years, for fear his second wife and child would have enough to keep them decently, but mind you, they are very scarce when their father is sick and needs help. During his father’s three months’ sickness last winter, I did not have the help of one half a day from them. They would not draw their father a load of hay. I have done just as near right as I could, and I now leave the result with God. Mrs. Mial Watkins.
