I have attempted to abstract pertinent information to genealogists from the available issues of this newspaper.
I have used familiar abbreviations and have tried to make this as concise as possible, while still giving necessary
information. I apolog ize for any errors or omissions, but am sure they are inevitable. Please do not ask me to
look any information up, as this is a very tedious project. Although, I will try to help locate Liberty area families
through other available records. I have been thru this film once, for my personal use and found so much, that I
thought I would do it again for everyone. I hope you enjoy and will find this beneficial. Please let the county
co-ordinator know if you do and I will consider other DeKalb papers in the future. This will be an on-going project
as I read the issues. Please check back often.
This film (Reel ALE-101) was purchased from TSLA, and you may check with them if you would like to order.
A few notes before you start:
These are scattered editions, with many missing;
The local area for that correspondent is shown, and chances are that is where the information mentioned took place;
It appears that write-ups had to be received by Monday, previous to the Wednesday edition date, to be printed;
(I could never find that in writing);
There are numerous business ads, I have taken only those that are in the general area, and I have not repeated
the same information from every issue. If there is a change in a particular business, I will note it;
Most visits were at least over-night or longer, sometimes several days. A "flying" visit was in the same
day.
If anyone should have or hear of any additional issues of this paper, of any dates, please contact me and I will
try to make arrangements to photograph them. Thank-you. Ms. Dale Givan Cantrell, P.O. Box 27, Liberty, TN
