Newspaper items in the 31 August 1906 issue of the Henderson Daily Gleaner, tell of the day-to-day events of life in the Webster County community of Slaughtersville. No other source allows us to read about life as it was.
Slaughtersville, Ky., Aug. 10 - Rev. B.F. Orr, of Henderson, delivered a very interesting lecture Wednesday evening at the Methodist church on "The Bright Side of Life."
