Reminiscences of the Reader Family in Heth Township
The author recalls Charles Reader and his family near Mauckport, detailing their English origin, habits, and farm life. He notes Reader’s strict integrity, Sunday labor, lack of horses, and use of a sled, plus the family’s medical prominence through Dr. William and Dr. Henry Reader. The piece laments unfinished Harrison county history by Judge Thomas C. Slaughter and hopes someone completes it.
