  • Dearborn County, Indiana Obituaries 1820-1850
    DEARBORN COUNTY, INDIANA OBITUARIES 1820-1850 Chris McHenry DEARBORN (XONTY, INDIANA OBITUARIES 1820-1850 Chris McHenry Lawrenceburg, Indiana 1983 Copyright 1983 INTRCDUCTI(»1 The obituaries which are abstracted in this volume are taken entirely from newspapers published within the boundaries of present-day Dearborn County. Most have been microfilmed, and all are available, either in the original, or on microfilm, at either the Lawrenceburg or Aurora Public Library. Each library holds the papers published in its respective town. Wilmington newspapers are at Aurora. Most of the newspapers are also available at the Indiana State Library, Indianapolis, in the newspaper archives division. In abstracting these cfoituaries, the author was dismayed by the large number of issues v^ich are missing, especially amaig the earlier newspapers. Nevertheless, it is aicouraging to note that, of the several newspapers published during this time period, aiough remain to construct a fairly coiplete chronological file. One of the finest aids to newspaper research in Indiana is "Indiana Newspaper Bibliography", by John W. Miller, Indianapolis, The Indiana Historical Society, 1982. This very valuable work lists evry newspaper ever published in Indiana, together with locations, dates of publication, and information about the piblishers thanselves. It was a tremednous help in identifying early Dearborn newspapers, and in verifying that all possible copies had been consulted. In general this book contains only abstracts of obituaries and coroner's inquests, except for the period prior to March 1826, vi^ien all probate notices were also abstracted. This was done because of the disastrous fire v*iich destroyed the Dearborn County Court House in March 1826.

  • 90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers
    90 Dams Removed in 2019 to Restore Rivers American Rivers releases annual list including dams in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin for a total of 26 states. Nationwide, 1,722 dams have been removed from 1912 through 2019. Dam removal brings a variety of benefits to local communities, including restoring river health and clean water, revitalizing fish and wildlife, improving public safety and recreation, and enhancing local economies. Working in a variety of functions with partner organizations throughout the country, American Rivers contributed financial and technical support in many of the removals. Contact information is provided for dam removals, if available. For further information about the list, please contact Jessie Thomas-Blate, American Rivers, Director of River Restoration at 202.347.7550 or [email protected]. This list includes all dam removals reported to American Rivers (as of February 6, 2020) that occurred in 2019, regardless of the level of American Rivers’ involvement. Inclusion on this list does not indicate endorsement by American Rivers. Dams are categorized alphabetically by state. Howle and Turner Dam, Tallapoosa River, Alabama The removal of Howle and Turner Dam was in the works for over four years. This project was the result of a great partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife program and the Alabama Rivers and Streams Network. The Service coordinated the pre-restoration planning and worked with their Fisheries and Aquatic Conservation Aquatic Habitat Restoration Team to carry out the demolition and restoration of the river channel.

What lessons can we learn from our past? What is the real value of the public land we manage? How will our actions impact the future of these unique places? We encourage questions like these from students, teachers and families as we tell the stories of plants, animals, water, soils and history at our Indiana State Parks. These are our stories......... This booklet provides an overview of the main messages that we interpret at each of our sites. These stories are presented in many ways. We introduce these themes in campground programs for families, exhibits in interpretive centers, wayside signage and environmental education programming for schools, scouts and other groups. This booklet is not just for teachers! If your group visits us for a planned program with an interpreter, we can connect one or more of our site messages with the topic(s) you are covering in your classroom or meeting time. Use this booklet to help you decide which of our properties’ messages and resources best match the topic and concepts you are introducing to your students. The booklet can also serve as a source of basic information about the natural and cultural resources at each state park or big lake.
