Miss Lottie M. Davis's Journal
PART TWO

View from the Skyline Drive of  the Elkton - McGaheysville, Virginia area. 

Folks interested in acquiring more information regarding Miss Lottie M. Davis's entries may wish to know that many of the earlier editions of the newspaper which served the Harrisonburg-Rockingam County area is available on microfilm at the Massanutten Regional Library in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  These papers are not indexed by subject; however, if you would take the date cited in Miss Lottie's journal regarding the person you are interested in, the staff may be able to help you find the exact obituary or news story, if it exists.  Be positive to check several issues of the papers before and after the date Miss Lottie cited in her journal to ensure that no error was made.  Some of her entries are obviously based upon personal knowledge, but likewise, she was an intelligent woman who read the local paper and most probably recorded things of interest to her from that source. Also, at times, it took several weeks for some things to be printed in the paper.

 If you choose to do this, be absolutely positive that you print a close up of the article in question as well as print the entire sheet showing the name of the newspaper, the date the article appeared and the article itself. Do not place any notations of any kind on these two copies.  If you want to make additional notations, do so on another sheet of paper and then use a paper clip to hold the sheets together [do not staple].  Better still put them into acid free sheet protectors and the sheet protectors into a three ring notebook.  This is necessary because it is considered standard genealogical procedure and ensures that the article will be accepted as proven documentation in the future.
