Reading community news in the local newspaper was the way to learn who was visiting from elsewhere, who was building a new house, who had a new baby and who had died. The following items were extracted from news of Dycusburg in the 21 Feb 1907 issue of the Crittenden Record-Press of Marion, Kentucky.
