Sometimes just a simple tidbit of information can provide a clue or clues for further research. Below are items printed on the back of the “Memoir” of Mary Louise (WATSON) HOLMES, reproduced in the Kinsearching column on 1 March 2015. Although the article is not documented, details on both sides of the clipping suggest that it was probably published after 9 July 1923 in “The Register” (or “The Register-Mail”) in Galesburg, Illinois. The newspaper clipping is in the Opal and Lester Saffell family papers, currently held in a private collection in Lubbock, Texas. (Some punctuation, capital letters in proper names, and other letters have been added or deleted for clarity and readability. All-caps for surnames are used for emphasis.)
