Bertha Pearl Davis Hadley scrapbook 01

Scrapbook January 1949 to January 1952

Description:	Scrapbooks created by Bertha Pearl Davis Hadley of newspaper clippings from the Kingman Star in Kingman, Indiana. Bertha Hadley was friends with Terese McAllister who wrote the column Town Talk with Trease. Bertha began saving articles that mentioned family, friends and neighbors. When Bertha uprooted her deep roots to follow her husbands employment to Peoria, Illinois, her way of keeping contact was to keep subscribing to the Kingman Star and saving articles about family, friends and neighbors. This scrapbook covers January 1949 through January 1952. Includes unidentified photograph. Bertha Pearl Davis was born into a family with a strong sense of history of those who came before them. Berthas grandmother was Abbie Wilkinson Alward. Her ancestry extended back to the Revolutionary War. The family realized the need to pass this information along to those who came after them. Abbie wrote down and related history to her children and they have all passed it one way or another to the following generations. Grace Alward Newnum has collected family history by saving obituaries. Claude wrote out the history for others. Myrtle, Berthas mother passed the history on orally and fueled the fires to learn. Irene has continued the history in one of the finest ways; she continues to live and will be 100 years old in March of 2008.
