Forgotten 1892 Tax Receipts Found in Gallia County
A large sealed envelope in Gallia County archives held tax receipts for James M. Gatewood of Crown City with December 1892 and June 1893 payments. A smaller envelope included a dollar bill, a dime, and three pennies noted as a refund for overpayment. The Silver certificate dated 1836 accompanied the items, discovered by WPA worker Rev. Tracy Martindale. Gatewood, then 92 and Civil War veteran, received the receipts and funds from County Auditor Keeler.
