1972 Madison's Heritage Articles, 1972

The 1972 Madison's Heritage collection features a series on a 1937 survey of the county. Articles about floods and blizzards show the impact that weather has had on the county's history. "Campus Murder Case" highlights one of the great unsolved mysteries in Berea's history. Two articles draw from information gathered from an old newspaper, the Richmond Whig Chronicle from 1851. This series continues on into 1972. "A Moonlight School" gives some interesting knowledge about the county's educational history. "An Uncommon Couple" and "Henry Allen Laine" show the importance of African American presence in the county's history. "Where are they Now?" and "What Used to be There?" begin the first of many attempts by Dr. Engle to document the historical layout of downtown Richmond, complete with the businesses, churches, and government buildings that have shaped the town center.
