In 1887 no spell-check!
And no computer processors! The paper was type-set by hand.
Imagine the cries of foul today if newspapers posted such info!
I guess I assumed land transactions are still published in the papers. I know the records are available for the public to access. 🙂
Really??? No kidding!!! 🙂
