I have previously posted two articles from the Hartford Herald concerning drownings in Ohio County. I was quite surprised that there have been so many drownings in Ohio County over the years, but Ohio County does have two rivers and numerous bodies of water, so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised.  In any event, I'm posting these articles for their historical interest and for their genealogical interest.  I hope you don't find them too sad or morbid.  There are about twenty articles in all and I plan to post a new article about every second day.
