- "Reports of My Death ... "
- Henry Carter, the mid-19th century representative in the succession of owners of the parcel of property I'll refer to as the 'Norman Wood farm,' must have been just as surprised as his friend George, to discover that he had been declared -- expired. The 'durable' Henry Carter went on to defy expectations for another 14 years, when he "assumed room temperature" at the age of 92. May we all be so fortunate so as to remain viable beyond our "expiration dates."

- Article on the Value of Money (ie., Various, Bank -issued, Notes)
- As "Andy" would say, "Back in the day," banks needed to print their own "specie (paper money)," due to the paucity of "hard currency (gold & silver coinage)." The "notes" were necessary to provide a form of exchange for goods & services. Their values weren't stable & fluctuated wildly compared to the standard of precious metals. Here, Lancaster merchants band together to establish an equitable & safe policy regarding the acceptance of various banks' paper.
