Petition and land sale notice in Hancock county court
A long, messy excerpt records a petition in Hancock County court about land estate of a deceased resident, with hearings set for October and notice to all interested parties. The document names the sheriff Parker Tuck and includes directions for publication and a true copy of the petition, urging disposition of proceeds per the court order. It references land in the county, a nine acre tract, and outlines steps for distribution to heirs subject to court oversight. The language evokes 19th century legal formalities and public notice procedures.
Postal Laws and Ladies Covenant Unite for War Aid
A long, garbled notice outlines postal rates for pamphlets and printed matter, then shifts to a prominent call by women to form the Ladies’ National Covenant. It urges economy, domestic fabrics, and abstaining from imported goods to support troops and the Union. Details include officers, pledge text, and a nationwide effort to circulate the covenant and organize state committees.
