Dubious Publishers: We all get mail-order come-ons, from Bath, Ohio, Denver, and other places – |
|
1. Halbert’s latest come-on offers “The McAninches in America: From 1790 to 1997”, allegedly |
|
from Robert D. McAninch, but “No direct genealogical connection to your family or to your |
|
ancestry is implied or intended”, and the mailing address is “Census Book Offer c/o Halbert’s”, |
|
so, it’s really just a list of census extracts (first census, 1790) and information from phone disk. |
|
2. Also, "The McAninch Archives", Denver, Colorado. Their real address is The Family News, |
|
and we wonder what they really have specific to "McAninch", or are these just printed lists of |
|
Census data, government Marriage records, and addresses from Social Security Death Index? |
|
These books may be interesting, but they are not family genealogy! If anyone has any experience |
|
with them, good or bad, let us know, and we'll pass it on. Our recommendation: Save your money. |

Missouri: 1893 |
|
|
North Arkansas and Southern Missouri remember the Wilson Murder Mystery: |
|
|
“December 18, 1893, about 7:30 p.m. ... Hunter Wilson, a 52 year old farmer and stockman, living |
|
|
in the Northeast corner of Baxter County, Arkansas, was killed ...” “The first clues pointed to |
|
|
Bill McAninch and his nephew, Walter McAninch, of Bakersfield, Missouri ...” “News of the |
|
|
murder reached Bakersfield , Mo., and Dr. Sullivan, a resident of Bakersfield, went to tell Bill |
|
|
McAninch, a stockman and farmer, also a former partner of Wilson’s in the stock trading business ...” |
|
|
Bill and his nephew were arrested, tried, and convicted on circumstantial evidence, but |
|
|
Justice prevailed, the real murderers were caught, and the McAninch men were released. |
|
|
This fascinating story, written by W.H. Wilson, now 81 years old, the only son of Hunter Wilson, |
|
|
was found by Lillian McAninch on the World-Wide Web, Baxter County, Arkansas, at their URL: |
