A garbled hotel notice list for Indiana and Indiana PA appeals, detailing various inn names, proprietors and services, with mixed train schedules and connections, including departures from Indiana, Blairsville, and Pittsburgh routes, plus remarks on time standards and late November 1878 arrangements.
The Evansville Indiana community recalls a grim Highland banshee legend tied to the Feast family. Thomas Feast born in England, lived in Evansville 23 years, a skilled shoemaker and thoughtful man who studied philosophy. Across generations five deaths preceded by a midnight death knock haunted the household, culminating in his own death after warning knocks. A separate Evansville note describes two women, Miss Harris and Mrs Cook, who explored spiritualism and reported apparitions after near wedding disruptions.
Historic anecdotes recount a ghostly sighting tied to Miss Harris and a later double sighting by two New Albany visitors. The piece also recalls a young Stonewall Jackson as a constable refusing to levy on a widow’s cow and a steadfast quote on duty over family.
