I am listed asa resource in a few directories. When a major event happens,I often receive phone calls from reporters wanting to know ifanything similar had happened in the past.One example is the Bush presidential voting fiasco in 2000,I received several phone calls from reporters wanting to knowif anything like this had happened before. As a matter of fact,it has happened SIX times before. Many Americans knowabout the Dewey Defeats Truman episode for the presidentialelection of 1948. However, that error was only printed in onenewspaper, the Chicago Daily News. For the presidentialelection of 1876, the two candidates were Samuel Tilden andRutherford B. Hayes. After the votes were counted, Tilden had250,000 more votes than Hayes. However, the votes were stilluncounted for Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana. Bothparties demanded a recount. Despite the uncertainty of whowas the winner, most newspapers declared Tilden the winnerin their November 7 editions. Newspapers were filled witheditorials of controversy and both sides accused the otherside of fraud. The presidential inauguration took place onMarch 5, 1877. The final winner, Rutherford B. Hayes, wasnot announced until only three days prior to the inauguration._______________________________The day after the Columbine High School shootings, April 21, 1999,I received phone calls from several reporters wanting to know ifthis was the worst mass-killing of children that ever took placeat a school. It wasn’t. On May 18, 1927, 45 people, mostlychildren, were killed and 58 were injured when disgruntled anddemented school board member Andrew Kehoe dynamited thenew school building in Bath, Michigan. He did this out of revengeover his foreclosed farm due in part to the taxes required to payfor the new school. The school had students from kindergartento twelfth-grade. As the school’s janitor, Kehoe spent almost anentire year wiring dynamite throughout the basement of the school.In total, about one-thousand pounds of dynamite was planted. Theevening of May 17, Kehoe, hooked a clock mechanism to thedynamite and set it to go off at 8:45 the next morning. He alsorigged his home with dynamite. Early morning May 18, he gotup and shot his wife. He then loaded his pickup truck bed withmore dynamite as well as scraps of metal, nails, broken glassand other items to be used as shrapnel. Next he set off thedynamite at his home and then drove to the school arriving atabout 9 AM, just after the school had blown up. When he arrived,dozens of men and women were searching through the rubblein an effort to save children. An entire wing of the school wasturned into rubble. Children could be heard screaming and cryingunder the debris. Kehoe parked his truck in front of what wasleft of the school, turned around in the driver’s seat and fired ashot into the truck bed to set off the dynamite there. With this,even more people were killed; even the few children that hadmade it out of the school on their own and were wanderingaround trying to figure out what had just happened. The rescueattempts were stopped when more dynamite was found in theschool wing that had not been blown up.Being a town of only a few hundred people, almost everyhousehold suffered the death of one or more of their children.Almost an entire generation was wiped out in their town. Exceptfor the Lansing, Michigan newspaper, all other newspapers coveredthe event on inside pages, if at all. The main news coverage wason Charles Lindbergh who was making aviation history with his flightto Paris._____________________Unique Graves, Headstones and Tombstoneshttp://nowthatsnifty.blogspot.com/2009/06/unique-graves-headstones-and-tombstones.htmlTellico, Monroe County, TennesseeThe Tellico Plains Mountain Presshttp://www.telliquah.com/default.htmFamily Stories: genealogy - bloghttp://yourfamilystory-cmpointer.blogspot.com/search/label/genealogyA Blog About History (historytweeter) on Twitterhttp://twitter.com/historytweeterTransylvanianDutch: Database Size and Lifespan Revisitedhttp://transylvaniandutch.blogspot.com/2009/06/database-size-and-lifespan-revisited.htmlFree or pay; GedCom editor (download)GedPad - Overviewhttp://www.tcgr.bufton.org/gpadover.htmretrolifehttp://www.billsretroworld.com/RETROLIFE.HTMNational Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC), Celebrating Fifty Years, 1959-2009, Library of Congresshttp://www.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/The Moonlit Road.com - Strange Tales of the American Southhttp://themoonlitroad.com/
