Historical Newspaper
Clippings from the Centerville Iowegian
While visiting the State Historical
Library in Des Moines, Iowa I found a book of old newspaper clippings from the
Iowegian. Unfortunately, there are no dates attached to the clippings!
:-( They provide interesting info on the area however. (p.s. I
indexed this, so please let me know if I missed a name in an article).
Thanks to those who clipped these interesting
articles from the best newspaper in Appanoose County:
The Daily
Iowegian!
