Death of a Revolutionary Soldier in Franklin Township
James Garrison a Revolutionary soldier died at his son's residence in Franklin Township Washington County on the 3d inst in his 99th year. Born in North Carolina July 13 1760 he joined late in the War of Independence and saw its close. He moved to Indiana in 1827 settling in Washington County where he lived until death. A separate report in The Evanville Journal describes a man calling himself Howard or Woodfurd posing as a Louisville policeman who abducted a girl and allegedly assaulted her before being arrested later in the day. The Louisville Journal suspects the man may be Henry Baldorf. The Jeffersonville Railroad Company lowered freight rates five percent per hundred pounds all classes of freight, a reduction not likely to be accepted by the Little Miami and other lines. River rate may be adjusted to align with Northern routes via Cincinnati.
