Newspapers will often contain not only the basic facts about our ancestors (birth, death, marriage, etc), but will fill in details. Who visited who, social engagements, illness, remembrances of older citizens, etc.
Please e-mail me if you know about any other newspapers in Perry County. Also, if you have access to TSLA and are willing to transcribe records, please contact me. Thank you. Contact Jerry L Butler, your Perry County TNGenWeb coordinator.

Was the paper’s name really Perry Countain, not Perry Countian? I want to be sure I’m accurate in what I’m writing about someone who wrote for the paper.
