Old Elm Controversy Sparks Harrison County Memory
In Harrison County residents debate historic sessions of the Constitutional Convention beneath the Old Elm near Corydon. Cottman’s claims are challenged by locals Amzie Weaver and others who recall debates and even share family recollections about the Elm’s role, while Lemmon’s 1891 history is cited. Several property notices and local deeds follow, closing with an item advertising a McCormick Deering hay press for sale.
