Bond signs and county politics tied to Archer and Davis
A Seymour citizen recounts a story of Ohio figures Frank B. Archer and John M. Davis, tied to a Bedford contract and a disputed bond. The tale alleges misrepresentation, transfer of contracts, and mislisted property as part of a pursuit by Indiana authorities and Governor Nash’s stance on a requisition. The bond issue prompts an investigation into their wealth and connections with Belmont county real estate and Washington Indiana dealings.
