Hi,
I just posted an old newspaper article reporting the murder of Joseph LEWIS, mate on the steamer "Maggiue Smith," by Sam HASTLER. This occurred on the steamer's run between Henderson, KY and Evansville, IN.
This was scanned from an original issue (NOT microfilm!) of the Memphis Daily Avalanche dated May 29, 1877, and you can see it online here:
