REEL NP #6227/KSHS Microfilm Collection

Bourbon County’s Union Monitor was a weekly newspaper. It was initially published in Marmaton, but only briefly. Publication continued in Fort Scott, with D.B. Emmert as Editor and C.B. Hayward as Publisher. Wal. H. Johnson became Publisher in 1865, with Mr. Emmert continuing as Editor, joined by H.H. Johnson. This reel contains a haphazard collection of issues, many of which are damaged and/or incomplete. Very few issues contain any personal information. The information has been copied as accurately as possible, but errors may still occur. Minor printing errors have been corrected, but otherwise the information is presented as it originally appeared. Please consult the individual reels to verify an item. I do not have any further information about these individuals or families. Contributed by Ellen Knowles Bisson (thebissons@worldnet.att.net)
