An old book, published in Stuttgart,
Germany, in 1834, of sermons with the Biblical text at the beginning of the sermon. The
book was discovered in an old house in Tollesboro. |

The script in the front of the book
shown above is very difficult to decipher, not because it is German, but because it was
written in an old form of German script. |

WATCH YOUR STEP . . . This piece of
Lewis County history was recently rediscovered after Herald staff members found an item in
the "Snooping with Stamper Stevenson" column in the August 3, 1950, issue of The
Lewis County Herald, alluding to its existence. Although cracked and worn, the concrete
step still shows the date "1950" in the center and initials and names of those
associated with the Herald at that time. The step was spared when the alley behind the
Herald office was repaved recently. (August 1, 2000, Dennis Brown) |
