Historical headlines.....

Researching old newspapers is a challenge.  Print can be smudged, sentences aren't grammatically put together the way we are used to and items they deemed newsworthy are just plain odd.  I always love a zany headline though, so here are a couple of my favorites to carry you through this Wednesday:

"Dead People, Cats and Wooden Indians Were Counted in the Twin City Census Padding of Twenty Years Ago"
-Minneapolis Morning Tribune (1909-1922); Apr 17, 1910; 
ProQuest Historical Newspapers Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1922)


"Mrs. Bones Says that Susan B. Anthony is Downright Mean" 


And the two subtitles within the article which also need to be noted read: 


"Says Susan is Mean" 


and my personal favorite:  


"Mrs. Bones Charges Miss Anthony With All Sorts of Things"
-Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1908); Feb 26, 1890; 
ProQuest Historical Newspapers Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1922)


Geez, Mrs. Bones - what did Susan B. do to you?!
