It notes Cap Hatfield’s arrest for manslaughter after the Matewan election violence and ongoing clan loyalty and reprisals.
The fragment lists names such as Susie Coons Emma Moore Anta Tooley Jessie McLeod Hattie May Ivy Dunlap Maud Belle and Sadie Leach among voters or residents with various notes. It mentions a medical advertisement for Cascarets Candy Cathartic and a lecture at the Baptist church by Rev. Swift. Other items note shoe sales, footwear prices, travel to Indianapolis, courthouse contracts, and city tax deadlines.
